Ate at (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eroded

'ate at' is the definition.
('erode' can be a synonym of 'eat at')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eroded that I've seen before include "Worn away by weather or water" , "Wore away" , "Worn away, ground down" , "Eaten away" , "Worn away by time, wind or water" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the Penny Press and the New York Times.
