Became less intense (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abated

'became less intense' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abated that I've seen before include "Became less strong or severe" , "Became more moderate" , "reduced" , "Relaxed" , "Decreased, receded" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Wall Street Journal, The Times, the Universal and The Mirror.
