Settled a selfish desire (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agreed

'settled' is the definition.
(settled can mean agreed or decided)

'a selfish desire' is the wordplay.
'selfish desire' becomes 'greed' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a'+'greed'='AGREED'

(Other definitions for agreed that I've seen before include "Accorded" , "admitted" , "Acquiesed, concurred" , "Concurred - tallied" , "I'll go along with that" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
