Settle for some illumination? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alight

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

'some illumination?' is the wordplay.
'some' becomes 'a' ().
'illumination?' becomes 'light' ('light' can be a synonym of 'illumination').
'a'+'light'='ALIGHT'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for alight that I've seen before include "Dismount" , "Come to rest on the ground" , "Small restaurant" , "Burning; descend" , "staying in?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
