It's "уняться". Well, usually the answer supposed to be somewhat wider, but in this particular case that's virtually all that can be said)
UPD: To make this answer slightly more informative, here's what worth to me mentioned. There's a bunch of verbs in Russian - понять, занять, нанять, унять etc. that have form with -йм: пойми, займи, найми, уйми.
Historically this is because нять is derived from Proto-Slavic jęti, which also reconstructed in form *jьmǫ.
Curious relevant fact: понять and поймать are actually related.

"понять and поймать are actually related." - thinking pattern which perhaps is reflected in English "to grasp". Funny how those languages are so different in some aspects and so close in others. PS. поиметь probably too– AriochOct 24, 2017 at 8:29

1@Arioch yep, and you also can say in English "I didn't quite catch that" - and "catch" used as "understand" in this context.– shabunc ♦Oct 24, 2017 at 8:36
