Have free and clear (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

own

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">have free and clear</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for own that I've seen before include "Posses" , "Acknowledge" , "Possess or confess" , "Allow" , "Private" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
