Turn pale making an entreaty (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plea

'an entreaty' is the definition.
(I know that plea is a type of entreaty)

'turn pale' is the wordplay.
'turn' indicates an anagram.
'pale' is an anagram of 'PLEA'.

'making' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for plea that I've seen before include "Urgent entreaty" , "Earnest entreaty" , "Heartfelt request" , "Dispute" , "Excuse - pretext" .)
