Eaten away (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eroded

'eaten away' is the definition.
('erode' can be a synonym of 'eat away')

This is the entire clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
