Preserve; rescue (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

save

This clue is a double definition.

'preserve' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

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

(Other definitions for save that I've seen before include "Rescue; store" , "Set aside" , "Rescue for a rainy day?" , "Keep" , "Salvage" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
