organised

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

'saw' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'grandiose characters' is the wordplay.
'characters' indicates anagramming the letters.
'grandiose' with letters rearranged gives 'ORGANISED'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for organised that I've seen before include "Efficient" , "Put in order" , "fixed up" , "Set up, mobilised" , "Arranged - structured" .)
