Impolite issue making student see appeal (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beseech

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'appeal' is the definition.
(I know that beseech is a more specific form of plead)

'impolite issue making student see' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'see' is 'ese' which is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beseech that I've seen before include "Beg earnestly, plead" , "Sue" , "request, urgently" , "Beg earnestly, implore" , "Request earnestly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
