To err - to make a mistake, to do something wrong
This is not an idiom or slang - it's just a straight-up definition meaning that if you're going to make a mistake, you're going to do it so that it ends up well instead of poorly. An example would be if you're making a rope swing for a pond - you'd use extra thick rope just in case it broke - you might end up using rope that's really thicker than needed, but it's better to be too thick than too thin, or better to err on the side of safety.
