ATONE
What atone means
To make amends or reparation for a wrong or offense, typically through some form of penance or changed behavior.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English "atonen," meaning to reconcile or make amends. The prefix "at-" (meaning "to") combined with "one," an old verb meaning to unite or agree. "One" itself comes from the adjective "one," reflecting the sense of becoming unified or at peace. The word originally meant to bring into harmony or agreement, later narrowing to mean making reparation for wrongdoing.
