Make (something) seem less important than it is (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

underplay

(Other definitions for underplay that I've seen before include "Perform (a role) in a restrained way" , "having to act with restraint" , "Reduce stress on" , "show restraint" , "Fail to stress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
