'no longer anxious' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'somehow ever idle' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'ever'+'idle'='everidle'
'everidle' with letters rearranged gives 'RELIEVED'.

'if' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
