safety
v.— «Through the years, I have heard a cashier announce that she will “safety” some cash for the day; a technician state that he will “safety” some equipment; and so on. By deduction, I discovered that the adjective “safety” had been transmogrified into a verb meaning to keep, perhaps hide—but not necessarily from harm.» —“Gil: Words, words, words” by Sandy Gil Sun.Star (Philippines) Feb. 13, 2005.
