Crossword Genius

Ring about safe (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resound

'ring' is the definition.
('resound' can be a synonym of 'ring')

'about safe' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'safe' becomes 'sound' ('sound' can be similar in meaning to 'safe').
're'+'sound'='RESOUND'

(Other definitions for resound that I've seen before include "Reverberate" , "Echo" , "ring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
