It’s safe to tie up (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

secure

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'it's safe' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'tie up' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for secure that I've seen before include "Safe, free from danger" , "Safe against attack or intrusion" , "Firmly fixed or free from uncertainty" , "Peg" , "Free from danger and financially sound" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
