I believe the answer is:

placate

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">appease</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">pacify</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for placate that I've seen before include "Make calm, conciliate" , "Pale cat could pacify" , "Calm, pacify, appease" , "'Pacify, appease (7)'" , "Mollify, appease" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Guardian.
