Do penance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atone

'do penance' is the definition.
(to do penance is to atone for something)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for atone that I've seen before include "Make reparation for a misdeed" , "Recompense" , "Expiate" , "Turn away from sin and do penance" , "remedy" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Universal, The Sun, The Wall Street Journal, The Mirror and the USA Today.
