Plead with a person to depart (6)

I believe the answer is:

begone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'person to depart' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'plead with a' is the wordplay.
'plead with' becomes 'beg' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a' becomes 'one'.
'beg'+'one'='BEGONE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for begone that I've seen before include "Get away" , "Archaic command to buzz off" , "Archaic command to go away, banish" , "make himself scarce" , "get lost" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
