Allayed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eased

'allayed' is the definition.
('ease' can be a synonym of 'allay')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eased that I've seen before include "Made less difficult, relieved from anxiety" , "Relieved, mitigated" , "rested" , "Helped" , "Slackened off" .)

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