Made up for some of the meat one devoured (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atoned

'made up for' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'some of the meat one devoured' is the wordplay.
'some of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ATONED' is hidden in the letters of 'the meat one devoured'.

(Other definitions for atoned that I've seen before include "Made up for wrong done" , "Expiated" , "Made up for, say injury" , "Made reparation (for)" , "Made up for past wrongdoing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
