Assuage anger (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

temper

This clue is a double definition.

'assuage' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'anger' is the second definition.
(temper is a kind of anger)

(Other definitions for temper that I've seen before include "Toughen by gradually heating and cooling" , "Make hard by heating and cooling, like iron" , "Uncontrolled anger" , "Moderate - mood" , "Mood or hardness of metal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
