Save, in a way (6)
I believe the answer is:
redeem
'save in a way' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for redeem that I've seen before include "Save from sin or error" , "Avoid pawn loss" , "Ransom" , "Save from sins or buy back" , "Deposed Libyan dictator" .)
