Makes happen (6)

I believe the answer is:

causes

'makes happen' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for causes that I've seen before include "Brings" , "Reasons why things happen" , "Gives rise to -- crusades" , "Origins or crusaders" , "They bring about effects" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Newsday.
