Ross

I believe the answer is:

reside

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

'settle somewhere' is the definition.
'reside' can be an answer for 'settle' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'somewhere' bit.

'odd desire' is the wordplay.
'odd' indicates anagramming the letters.
'desire' anagrammed gives 'RESIDE'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reside that I've seen before include "Live (in a place)" , "Dwell - settle" , "Dwell in desire" , "Make one's home permanently" , "Live in permanently" .)

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