Decomposes (4)
I believe the answer is:
rots
'decomposes' is the definition.
('rot' can be a synonym of 'decompose')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for rots that I've seen before include "Decays" , "Decomposes" .)
I've seen this clue in the Universal, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror, The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune and the Evening Standard.
