'got' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'settling overdue amount' is the wordplay.
'settling' indicates an anagram (settle can mean to solve or sort out).
'overdue'+'amount'='overdueamount'
'overdueamount' with letters rearranged gives 'OUTMANOEUVRED'.

'around' is the link.
