* Fit to perform? (4-2-2)

I believe the answer is:

well-to-do

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

'fit to perform?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'fit to perform?' is the wordplay.
'fit' becomes 'well' (associated in meaning).
'perform?' becomes 'do' (both can mean complete an action).
'well'+'to'+'do'='WELL-TO-DO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for well-to-do that I've seen before include "Fairly wealthy" , "Financially comfortable" , "Comfortably off" , "'Prosperous, wealthy (4-2-2)'" , "Affluent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
