Quelled (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

allayed

subdued

'quelled' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for subdued that I've seen before include "Put down" , "Quietened, brought under control" , "Quieted and brought under control" , "reserved" , "'Quieted, cowed (7)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
