I believe the answer is:

threat

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it is intimidating' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'in that again' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'again' becomes 're'.
'that' going around 're' is 'THREAT'.
