I believe the answer is:

abates

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">lets up</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('abate' can be a synonym of 'let up')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for abates that I've seen before include "Becomes less intense" , "Slacks off" , "lowers" , "Calms down a" , "Grows less intense" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the King Feature Syndicate.
