Relieved, assuaged (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allayed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'relieved' is the first definition.
('allay' can be a synonym of 'relieve')

'assuaged' is the second definition.
('allay' can be a synonym of 'assuage')

(Other definitions for allayed that I've seen before include "Soothed or diminished, say fears" , "'Diminished or put at rest, fear perhaps (7)'" , "Eased" , "Put at rest, say suspicions" , "Assuaged, relieved" .)
