The phrase "in safety" is not derived from a single word with a specific etymology. Instead, it is a combination of the preposition "in" and the noun "safety".
The preposition "in" is derived from Old English "in", which has its roots in Proto-Germanic, and can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root *en. It usually denotes location or position within something.
The noun "safety" comes from Middle English "safetee", which was borrowed from Old French "safete" in the 14th century. The Old French word itself derived from the Latin noun "salvitas", meaning "safety" or "preservation". "Salvitas" in turn was derived from the Latin adjective "salvus", meaning "safe" or "uninjured".
