Make beloved (6)
I believe the answer is:
endear
'make beloved' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for endear that I've seen before include "Cause to be beloved" , "Neared in order to charm" , "Arouse affection" , "Cause to be loved" , "Neared so as to make loved" .)
