Crossword Genius

Become fine again? Explain (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clear up

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'become fine again?' is the first definition.
(as in bad weather clearing up)

'explain' is the second definition.
(clearing up is a kind of explaining)

(Other definitions for clear up that I've seen before include "Free from confusion - tidy" , "Tidy; explain; cure" , "Solve a mystery - become brighter" , "Resolve" , "put things in order" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
