Subsides (6)

I believe the answer is:

abates

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abates that I've seen before include "Diminishes" , "Makes less intense" , "lowers" , "has a fall" , "moderates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Mirror, the USA Today, the Universal and the Evening Standard.
