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