Make amends (5)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

atone

'make amends' is the definition.
(to atone is to make amends for a wrong deed)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for atone that I've seen before include "Make up, compensate (for)" , "Pay the price" , "Make amends (for something)" , "remedy" , "Make redress" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Daily Mail, The Mirror, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, the Universal, the Evening Standard, the Newsday, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, The Independent, the LA Times, The Telegraph, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
