Made less difficult (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eased

'made less difficult' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eased that I've seen before include "Moved carefully" , "Facilitated" , "Slowed down" , "rested" , "Alleviated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the USA Today, the Universal and the Newsday.
