Pardons (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

excuses

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">pardons</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('excuse' can be a synonym of 'pardon')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for excuses that I've seen before include "Forgives" , "Defences of offensive behaviour" , "Lets (someone) off duty" , "Releases from a duty" , "Defences of objective behaviour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
