Relied on being deposited somewhere safe (6)
I believe the answer is:
banked
'safe' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives occasionally mean the same thing.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
