Answer an invite, briefly (4)

I believe the answer is:

rsvp

(Other definitions for rsvp that I've seen before include "'Please reply, initially (4)'" , "Letters inviting a reply" , "Reply to the invitation, please" , "Can you come to the party?" , "Reply to invitation initially" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
