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