Crossword Genius

Free to speak (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deliver

This clue is a double definition.

'free' is the first definition.
(delivering is a kind of freeing)

'speak' is the second definition.
(delivering is a kind of speaking)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for deliver that I've seen before include "Consign" , "Convey to destination" , "ship" , "Hand over (to someone)" , "Dispatch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
