Entreaty, petition (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plea

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">entreaty</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(plea is a kind of entreaty)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">petition</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(petition can mean to plea or beg)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for plea that I've seen before include "suit" , "Heartfelt request" , "Earnest request, prayer" , "Lightly char" , "Excuse, entreaty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
