Retaliate and thus put right (a wrong) (6)

I believe the answer is:

avenge

(Other definitions for avenge that I've seen before include "Take satisfaction for injury received" , "Exact retribution, take satisfaction for injury" , "Gain retribution" , "Carry out retribution" , "Get even" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
