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 New York Times, the USA Today, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, The Daily Mail, the Newsday, the Sydney Morning Herald, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror, the Evening Standard, The Independent, the Universal, The Telegraph and The Wall Street Journal.
