Better protected (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

safer

'better protected' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for safer that I've seen before include "Fears (anag)" , "Less hazardous" , "Not so hairy" , "Less risky" , "More secure" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Universal.
