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