All settees, when rearranged, fit together (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tessellate

'fit together' is the definition.
(tessellate means to fit together without gaps)

'all settees when rearranged' is the wordplay.
'when rearranged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'all'+'settees'='allsettees'
'allsettees' anagrammed gives 'TESSELLATE'.

(Other definitions for tessellate that I've seen before include "marked in little squarish areas" , "perfectly fit to fill a space" , "Create mosaic" , "Form a mosaic - sell estate (anag)" , "Decorate with mosaics" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
