Put right or else wrong, victory secured (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resolve

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

'put right' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'or else wrong victory secured' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'victory' becomes 'v'.
'secured' is an insertion indicator.
'or'+'else'='orelse'
'orelse' is an anagram of 'resole'.
'resole' going around 'v' is 'RESOLVE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resolve that I've seen before include "Clear up: courage" , "bottle" , "work out" , "Determine firmly" , "Settle, conclude" .)
