Mollify with sausage and mash (7)
I believe the answer is:
assuage
'mollify' is the definition.
(I know that mollify can be written as assuage)
'sausage and mash' is the wordplay.
'sausage' anagrams to 'ASSUAGE'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assuage that I've seen before include "9 across (anag)" , "Make less severe, say thirst" , "Mitigate - allay" , "Sausage (anag.)" , "Provide physical or mental relief -- satisfy" .)
