Earnestly ask (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entreat

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">earnestly ask</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for entreat that I've seen before include "Ask (someone) anxiously" , "Beg earnestly or emotionally" , "Ask (someone) earnestly" , "Beg earnestly, appeal" , "Beseech, implore" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the Sydney Morning Herald.
