Others came down in chains (10)
I believe the answer is:
restrained
'in chains' is the definition.
'others came down' is the wordplay.
'others' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this in other clues).
'came down' becomes 'rained' (raining is a kind of coming down).
'rest'+'rained'='RESTRAINED'
(Other definitions for restrained that I've seen before include "Calm" , "subdued" , "Held back" , "muted" , "Being limited" .)
