Make amends (5)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

atone

'make amends' is the definition.
(to atone is to make amends for a wrong deed)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for atone that I've seen before include "Make up, compensate (for)" , "Pay the price" , "Make amends (for something)" , "remedy" , "Make redress" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate, The Washington Post, The Mirror, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, the LA Times, the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald, The New York Times, The Independent, the Universal, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune and The Daily Mail.
