Calmed through being given somewhere to sit outside Land's End (7)

I believe the answer is:

sedated

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'calmed' is the definition.
('sedate' can be a synonym of 'calm')

'being given somewhere to sit outside land's end' is the wordplay.
'being given' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'somewhere to sit' becomes 'dated' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'outside' means to remove the middle letters (I've seen 'outside of' mean this).
'land's end' becomes 'shore' (I've seen this in another clue).
'shore' with its middle removed is 'se'.
'dated' after 'se' is 'SEDATED'.

'through' is the link.
