Pay to come down (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

settle

I believe this is a double definition.

'pay' is the first definition.
(as in settling a bill)

'come down' is the second definition.
(settling is a kind of coming down)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for settle that I've seen before include "Resolve - to pay one's debts" , "Resolve (a dispute)" , "Come to rest or decide an argument" , "Colonise with a seat" , "Put down roots or pay debt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
