Free and easy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loose

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'free' is the first definition.
('loose' can be similar in meaning to 'free')

'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 and The Sun.
