jeopardise
의미: To put something valuable at risk of being lost, damaged, or destroyed through reckless or ill-considered action.
Jeopardise implies that the risk is created by someone's actions or decisions rather than by external circumstances alone. It is common in political, legal, and business reporting. Common collocations include 'jeopardise the deal,' 'jeopardise safety,' and 'jeopardise one's career.' The British spelling uses -ise, while American English uses -ize.
