Flexible times to secure result (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bendy

'flexible' is the definition.
(able to bend)

'times to secure result' is the wordplay.
'times' becomes 'by' (both can mean 'multiplied by').
'to secure' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are secured inside).
'result' becomes 'end' (I've seen this in other clues).
'by' placed around 'end' is 'BENDY'.

(Another definition for bendy that I've seen is " Flexible".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
