Safe

A safe (definition 3)

The word safe has more than one meaning.

  • Safe is the state a person or object is in when they are not in danger.
  • In the sport of baseball, a player is safe after he gets to a base without being touched by another player with the baseball.
  • A safe is a place where people put important things to protect them from fire, theft, or both. A safe is usually a box-shaped container with a lock (although safes designed to protect from fire only sometimes don't have a lock). It is usually heavy and made of a strong substance such as steel. It is designed to resist attack from crowbars, hammers, drills, and other tools.
