I believe the answer is:

absolve

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">acquit</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">pardon</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for absolve that I've seen before include "Grant remission of sins" , "Declare (someone) free of guilt" , "Clear of blame or guilt" , "Set free from guilt" , "Discharge" .)
