Free - and easy (5)

I believe the answer is:

loose

This clue is a double definition.

'free' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'easy' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for loose that I've seen before include "Slack or immoral" , "Unsecured; dissolute" , "Not fixed; inexact" , "Water heater" , "Not tightly fixed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Sun and The Guardian.
