Pardons (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

excuses

'pardons' is the definition.
('excuse' can be a synonym of 'pardon')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for excuses that I've seen before include "Forgives" , "Defences of offensive behaviour" , "Lets (someone) off duty" , "Releases from a duty" , "Defences of objective behaviour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
