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 Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, The Wall Street Journal, the Newsday, the Evening Standard, the USA Today, The Star Tribune, the LA Times and The Daily Mail.
