Lets off steam (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

cools

vents

'lets off steam?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cools that I've seen before include "Chills" , "Becomes less ardent" , "Gets colder" , "Loses heat" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Universal.
