A smile eased.

Hi,

When someone's smile eases, does it fade/disappear, or does it become milder/easier/calmer?

I have never heard (or read) that a smile "eases". Where did you fine this expression?

Maybe the original sentence is something like one's smile eases one's pain / worries etc.

For example: His smile eases my pain.

I found this in a novel.
The original sentence is:

"When the teacher turned back, his smiled had eased." [sic]

I think "smiled" is a typo.
"ease" is used as an intransitive verb.

Thanks,

Yes, 'smiled' should be 'smile'. I think that here it means he was smiling less or more calmly.
