Jeopardize is a verb that refers to the act of putting something or someone at risk or in danger. It signifies the potential for harm, damage, or negative consequences resulting from a particular action or decision. The term encompasses the idea of imperiling, compromising, or undermining the safety, well-being, or success of something or someone.
To jeopardize is to pose a threat or to expose to various hazards that may have adverse effects. By engaging in certain behaviors, actions, or choices, an individual or entity can gamble or endanger the stability, integrity, or future prospects of something valuable. This could involve jeopardizing a person's health, relationships, reputation, financial well-being, or any other significant aspect that is susceptible to threats or potential harm.
Jeopardizing often implies a conscious or intentional involvement in an activity or decision that has a high likelihood of causing harm or failure. It can also arise from neglect, carelessness, ignorance, or lack of proper precautions. Additionally, the concept of jeopardizing may be associated with sacrifices or taking risks in pursuit of desired outcomes. However, these risks are taken with an understanding that there is a genuine possibility of negative consequences.
In summary, to jeopardize is to expose someone or something to grave risk, danger, or harm by acts, decisions, or omissions that can potentially have detrimental effects. It reflects the vulnerability and fragility of elements that may suffer from unfavorable outcomes due to certain behaviors or circumstances.

The word "jeopardize" originated from the Old French term "jouper" or "juper", which meant "to be in danger". This Old French word itself came from the Latin phrase "jocus", meaning "game" or "joke". Over time, the meaning of "jouper" evolved to include the sense of being at risk or putting something at stake. The word "jeopardize" was first recorded in English around the 15th century and has retained its core meaning of putting something or someone in danger or at risk ever since.
