The bench is alight (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

settle

This clue is a double definition.

'the bench' is the first definition.
(settle is a kind of bench)

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

(Other definitions for settle that I've seen before include "Pay up or become established in place" , "Decide - stop moving" , "Bring to an end, agree terms" , "Come to rest or meet bill" , "Resolve; alight" .)

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