made sense

Was finally clear

Made sense means was understandable or logical.

Something makes sense when it can be grasped or when it follows reasonably: Her explanation finally made sense.

It also describes actions that are practical or wise: It made sense to wait for better weather.

The negative didn't make sense often expresses confusion or disbelief.
