I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'decide' is the definition.
(I know that decide can be written as settle)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for settle that I've seen before include "Come to rest -- North Yorkshire market town" , "Resolve; land" , "Agree or decide (one's position)" , "Resolve (a dispute)" , "Pay up or sink down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
