Make an unpleasant feeling less intense (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assuage

(Other definitions for assuage that I've seen before include "Soothe, make less severe" , "Soothe with sausage" , "moderate" , "Ease or relieve, say thirst" , "Sausage (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
