Crossword Genius

Husband to rescue! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

save

This clue is a double definition.

'husband' is the first definition.
(saving is a kind of husbanding)

'rescue' is the second definition.
(saving is a kind of rescuing)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for save that I've seen before include "Spend less" , "Husband" , "Prepare for a rainy day" , "Bar" , "Apart from" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
