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.

    @YellowSky well, it depends on how deep we want to go - there was some kind of root ) – shabunc Oct 19 '17 at 21:31

    There is a humorous short story about verb "вынуть": https://quotesbook.info/parables/writing/Koren – Joker_vD Oct 20 '17 at 15:23
  • "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 – Arioch Oct 24 '17 at 08:29

    @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 '17 at 08:36
  • and also "I've got it" - that very "поиметь" again :-D – Arioch Oct 24 '17 at 08:55
  • @shabunc "I didn't quite catch that"--means (I didn't hear that), not (I didn't understand that.) – VCH250 Oct 30 '17 at 16:05
  • @VCH250 nope it means both - it's also about not understanding. – shabunc Oct 30 '17 at 16:40
  • @shabunc It certainly does not mean both (Native language is English). You would have to add ( "catch your meaning", or some other phrase). Otherwise it's just asking the other person to repeat themselves. – VCH250 Oct 31 '17 at 07:20
  • @VCH250 you are wrong – shabunc Oct 31 '17 at 18:07
