Easy displaying softer self (10)
I believe the answer is:
effortless
'easy' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'displaying softer self' is the wordplay.
'displaying' indicates anagramming the letters (the anagrammed letters display the answer).
'softer'+'self'='softerself'
'softerself' is an anagram of 'EFFORTLESS'.
(Other definitions for effortless that I've seen before include "easy" , "Not showing any strain" , "Requiring no physical or mental exertion" , "a breeze?" .)
