made good
Fulfilled a promise
Made good means fulfilled or accomplished what was promised or owed.
Someone who makes good on a debt pays it; making good on a threat carries it out: He made good on his promise to return.
The phrase also describes someone who achieves success, especially after humble beginnings: a local kid who made good in Hollywood.
