Be contrite (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repent

'be contrite' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for repent that I've seen before include "John the Baptist's cry" , "Express remorse for sin" , "Show remorse" , "lying on the ground" , "Turn away from sin" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The Mirror and The Guardian.
