Pacify; relieve (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soothe

This clue is a double definition.

'pacify' is the first definition.
(I know that pacify is a more specific form of the action calm)

'relieve' is the second definition.
(I know that soothe is a more specific form of the action relieve)

(Other definitions for soothe that I've seen before include "'Console, comfort (6)'" , "Gently calm" , "Calm; relieve pain" , "Cause to feel better" , "Console, pacify" .)

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