Crossword Genius

Soften scowl (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lower

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'soften' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'scowl' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for lower that I've seen before include "Farther down" , "where are trousers in relation?" , "subordinate" , "put down" , "Hereford, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
