I believe the answer is:

stet

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

This might be a double definition.

'impressive plea' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'restitution' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stet that I've seen before include "Let it stand (on proofs)" , "Let it stand (in proofing)" , "It may stand" , "Eg, molar" , "Mark on page to restore a deletion" .)
