Recedes (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebbs

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">recedes</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(ebbing is a kind of receding)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for ebbs that I've seen before include "Goes out like tide" , "Wanes" , "Subsides" , "flags" , "Flows back or recedes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Newsday, the Universal, The Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard, The Mirror, the LA Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Daily Mail and the USA Today.
