A time in location that’s calm (7)
I believe the answer is:
placate
'calm' is the definition.
(placating is a kind of calming)
'a time in location' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'location' becomes 'place' (place is a kind of location**).
'a'+'t'='at'
'at' put inside 'place' is 'PLACATE'.
'that's' is the link.
(Other definitions for placate that I've seen before include "Calm, pacify, appease" , "Make calm, conciliate" , "Make less angry" , "Mollify, soothe anger" , "Pale cat could pacify" .)
