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