Implore individual to go away (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

begone

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

'implore individual' is the wordplay.
'implore' becomes 'beg' (synonyms).
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'beg'+'one'='BEGONE'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for begone that I've seen before include "get lost" , "Archaic command to buzz off" , "make himself scarce" , "Archaic command to go away, banish" , "Archaic word of dismissal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
