Society leader frequently shows temper (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soften

'temper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'society leader frequently' is the wordplay.
'leader' indicates taking the first letters.
'frequently' becomes 'often' ('often' can be a synonym of 'frequently').
The initial letter of 'society' is 's'.
's'+'often'='SOFTEN'

'shows' is the link.

(Other definitions for soften that I've seen before include "Make more plastic" , "Tenderise" , "Yield" , "Appease" , "Temper" .)
