Pacify, placate (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appease

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pacify' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'placate' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for appease that I've seen before include "Calm, pacify, placate" , "Propitiate by concessions" , "Placate (someone) with concessions" , "Satisfy demands by making concessions" , "Mollify by making concession" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
