Request or supplication (4)
I believe the answer is:
plea
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">request</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that plea is a type of appeal)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">supplication</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that supplication can be written as plea)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for plea that I've seen before include "Leap (anag.)" , "Lightly char" , "Negotiation between prosecutor and defendant" , "(and 14) Enjoyment - gratification" , "Heartfelt request" .)
