Paid to get comfortable on the day (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

settled

'paid' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'get comfortable on the day' is the wordplay.
'get comfortable' becomes 'settle' (I've seen this before).
'on' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'the day' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for day).
'settle'+'d'='SETTLED'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for settled that I've seen before include "Established" , "no longer an issue" , "Came down; resolved" , "Took up residence" , "came to agreement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
