To pacify, it's offered so quietly (3)
I believe the answer is:
sop
'to pacify it's' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'so quietly' is the wordplay.
'quietly' becomes 'p' (p for piano and quiet).
'so'+'p'='SOP'
'offered' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sop that I've seen before include "Minor concession" , "Propitiatory offering" , "Something of no great value given to appease" , "Small concession" , "A bribe or appeasement" .)
