Settle the will (7)
I believe the answer is:
resolve
This clue is a double definition.
'settle' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'the will' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for resolve that I've seen before include "break up" , "Sort out (a problem)" , "Decide; firm determination" , "Firmly decide" , "Willpower" .)
