'made up one's mind' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'was made up well' is the wordplay.
'made up' is an anagram indicator.
'well' becomes 'fit' (associated in meaning).
'was' is an anagram of 'saw'.
'saw'+'fit'='SAW FIT'

'that' acts as a link.
