Whitened (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bleached

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">whitened</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(bleaching is a kind of whitening)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for bleached that I've seen before include "Chemically whitened" , "Paled" , "Whitened or removed colour from" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Guardian.
