Relaxation following distress (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relief

'relaxation following distress' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for relief that I've seen before include "Cosmos" , "Carving style; financial assistance to the needy" , "Relaxation following distress" , "Lightening up of something" , "Easement from pain or stress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
