Becomes less tense and relaxes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unwinds

'becomes less tense and relaxes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for unwinds that I've seen before include "Relaxes; pays out (thread)" , "Rests and becomes less tense" , "Becomes less tense and relaxes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
