Pleasure of compensation (12)
I believe the answer is:
satisfaction
I believe this is a double definition.
'pleasure' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'compensation' is the second definition.
(I know that satisfaction is a type of amends)
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for satisfaction that I've seen before include "Contentment; reparation" , "Fulfilment; compensation" , "I can't get no - (Rolling Stones)" , "Gratification" , "Pleasure" .)
