Satisfies silly sausages (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assuages

'satisfies' is the definition.
(assuaging is a kind of satisfying)

'silly sausages' is the wordplay.
'silly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sausages' anagrammed gives 'ASSUAGES'.

(Other definitions for assuages that I've seen before include "Soothes with sausages" , "Satisfies an appetite or desires" , "provides relief" , "Makes something less severe, pain say" .)
