Ask enrolled nurse to negotiate (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entreat

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ask' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'enrolled nurse to negotiate' is the wordplay.
'enrolled nurse' becomes 'en' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'to negotiate' becomes 'treat' (I've seen this before).
'en'+'treat'='ENTREAT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entreat that I've seen before include "Pray" , "petition" , "Sue" , "Beseech, implore" , "Beg earnestly or emotionally" .)

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