Jeopardy means to be in harm's way.
Double jeopardy is a semi-legal term that describes being tried for a crime twice. It's not allowed. If your put in harms way in terms of being put on trial, you can't be put in harm's way again.

Jeopardy is the threat of danger, ie, living in Oklahoma puts you in jeopardy of being the victim of a tornado. People get jeopardy confused with peril sometimes. The difference is, "Boy, I hope we're not hit with a tornado this year," (jeopardy) and "Holy crap, here comes the tornado, take cover," (peril).
