Given relief from a disease difficult to cure (5)
I believe the answer is:
eased
'given relief' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a disease difficult to cure' is the wordplay.
'EASED' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eased that I've seen before include "became less tight" , "Made less stressful or difficult" , "Made less severe" , "Helped" , "Calmed" .)
