ease off

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

'reduce intensity' is the definition.
'ease off' can be an answer for 'reduce' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'intensity' bit.

'increase offer partly' is the wordplay.
'partly' indicates a hidden word (part of the clue is used).
'EASE OFF' is hidden within 'increase offer'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ease off that I've seen before include "Slow down" , "Let up" , "Slacken gradually" , "reduce tension" , "Moderate, slacken" .)
