Crossword Genius

Fine offer resolved it (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forfeit

'fine' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'offer resolved it' is the wordplay.
'resolved' indicates an anagram.
'offer' with letters rearranged gives 'forfe'.
'forfe'+'it'='FORFEIT'

(Other definitions for forfeit that I've seen before include "Fine, penalty; give up" , "Penalty for wrongdoing" , "Sacrifice" , "Something given up as a penalty" , "Give up or lose the right to something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
