Shows mercy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relents

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">shows mercy</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for relents that I've seen before include "Becomes less severe and more lenient" , "is slackening" , "Shows mercy" , "Eases off" , "Gives way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the Sydney Morning Herald.
