Entreaties (5)

I believe the answer is:

pleas

'entreaties' is the definition.
(I know this)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pleas that I've seen before include "Urgent entreaties" , "Entreats" , "Excuses, pretexts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Star Tribune, The Mirror and The Times.
