Settle a clue (6)

I believe the answer is:

alight

'settle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a clue' is the wordplay.
'clue' becomes 'light'.
'a'+'light'='ALIGHT'

(Other definitions for alight that I've seen before include "Leave a vehicle - burning" , "Descend, from a bus or train say" , "Touch down" , "Small restaurant" , "Come down - on fire" .)

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