Soften; give way (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relent

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'soften' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'give way' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for relent that I've seen before include "Change one's mind" , "Be merciful" , "Soften, grow less severe" , "Moderate" , "Ease off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
