Promise made by page left on margin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pledge

'promise' is the definition.
(I know that pledge is a more specific form of promise)

'page left on margin' is the wordplay.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'margin' becomes 'edge' (synonyms).
'p'+'l'+'edge'='PLEDGE'

'made by' is the link.

(Other definitions for pledge that I've seen before include "Solemn promise" , "Give one's word" , "Promise, word of honour" , "Solemn undertaking" , "make toast" .)
