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