Reconciled with blokes? Time for satisfaction (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atonement

'for satisfaction' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'reconciled with blokes? time' is the wordplay.
'reconciled' becomes 'atone' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'blokes?' becomes 'men' (bloke can informally mean a man).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'atone'+'men'+'t'='ATONEMENT'

(Other definitions for atonement that I've seen before include "needed to make amends" , "Making good" , "Making amends" , "Expiation of sin, penance" , "reparations?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
