Placate, mollify (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appease

I believe this is a double definition.

'placate' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'mollify' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for appease that I've seen before include "Placate by giving in to demands" , "be satisfying" , "Propitiate by concessions" , "To behave like Chamberlain" , "Mollify, placate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
