Relieve, as fears (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assuage

(Other definitions for assuage that I've seen before include "Mitigate - allay" , "Make less severe, say thirst" , "Satisfy (an appetite)" , "'Make less severe, pain say (7)'" , "Pacify, allay" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
