settle

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 cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for settle that I've seen before include "Reach an agreement or become calm" , "Get comfortable" , "get a seat" , "Resolve; land" , "Agree or decide (one's position)" .)

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