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