Force people in commercials to provide compensation (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
make amends
'provide compensation' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'force people in commercials' is the wordplay.
'force' becomes 'make' (to make someone do something is to force them).
'people' becomes 'men' (men are people).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'commercials' becomes 'ads' (ad is short for advert).
'men' put within 'ads' is 'amends'.
'make'+'amends'='MAKE AMENDS'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for make amends that I've seen before include "Compensate (for a wrongdoing)" , "Compensate for loss or injury" , "Atone" , "put things right" , "Remedy" .)
