safely
Free from harm
Safely means without danger, harm, or risk: The hikers made it back safely before the storm hit.
It can also mean securely or reliably: The documents are safely stored in the vault.
To say something safely suggests speaking without risk of error or controversy: I can safely say this is the best meal I've had.
