Toned down (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

tamed

muted

'toned down' is the definition.
('mute' can be a synonym of 'tone down')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for muted that I've seen before include "Temporarily speechless" , "Faint" , "Dull" , "Subdued; not bright" , "Muffled, subdued" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph and the Newsday.
