Mollify poet with a trip I arranged (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

propitiate

'mollify' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'poet with a trip i arranged' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'trip'+'i'='atripi'
'poet' put after 'atripi' is 'atripipoet'.
'atripipoet' anagrammed gives 'PROPITIATE'.

(Another definition for propitiate that I've seen is " Appease".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
