Grant forgiveness (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pardon

'grant forgiveness' is the definition.
(pardoning is a kind of granting forgiveness)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pardon that I've seen before include "Excuse or absolve" , "Forgive or remit" , "Excuse me, kindly overlook" , "Ask this to seek forgiveness" , "Forgive the polite interruption" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
