'fix' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'set when winning' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'set' could be 'ready' (similar in meaning) and 'ready' is found in the answer.
'winning' could be 'up' (eg being up at half time in football) and 'up' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
