Grant an exemption (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

excuse

'grant an exemption' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for excuse that I've seen before include "Pardon, or release from obligation" , "Mitigate; forgive" , "Make allowances for; forgive" , "Pardon or forgive" , "A self-justification" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
