Settle in the country (4)
I believe the answer is:
land
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'settle' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'in the country' is the second definition.
('land' is part of 'country')
(Other definitions for land that I've seen before include "win" , "soil" , "Take catch" , "Ground; country" , "people" .)
