Ross

'diminish' is the definition.
(tapering is a kind of diminishing)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for taper that I've seen before include "Get narrower towards end" , "Thin progressively" , "Become narrow" , "He records" , "On VHS he recorded" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Independent, The Mirror, The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune, The Sun, the Penny Press, The Guardian and the King Feature Syndicate.
