Ebb, go backwards (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recede

I believe this is a double definition.

'ebb' is the first definition.
(I know that ebb is a kind of recede)

'go backwards' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for recede that I've seen before include "Withdraw" , "Go backwards" , "Move backward" , "Decree (anag) - ebb" , "Go back, ebb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
