What is the noun for relent?

Update:

Because without relent is 'relentlessness', I'm guessing that relentness would be the word. It's not used however, so I'll just go with a synonym.

    There isn't one.

    'To relent' is a verb that has no physical object related to it, such as 'rain' or 'spit' or 'saw', therefore there can't be a noun version.

    Unless you're maybe getting 'noun' and adjective' confused? In which case, it would be 'relentless'.

    There are several. Stop, give up, end, withdraw, and cease are among the best.
