Relax one's severity (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relent

(Other definitions for relent that I've seen before include "Become less severe and more forgiving" , "Become more compassionate" , "Soften - yield" , "Ease off" , "Become less severe, soften" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
