Chip away at (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erode

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">chip away at</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for erode that I've seen before include "'Deteriorate, wear away (5)'" , "Grind down" , "Become ground down or deteriorate" , "Wear away with weather" , "Gradually destroy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the USA Today, the Newsday and the Universal.
