Deliver moderate support (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relieve

This clue is a triple definition!

'deliver' is the first definition.
(I know that relieve is a more specific form of deliver)

'moderate' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'support' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for relieve that I've seen before include "Make (pain) less severe" , "Alleviate, assuage" , "Free from obligation" , "Break the sameness of" , "Lighten a burden or raise a seige" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
