Decreased gradually (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

waned

'decreased gradually' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for waned that I've seen before include "grew faint" , "Ebbed; declined" , "(Of moon) grew smaller" , "Decreased in size" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
