Ebbed (7)

I believe the answer is:

receded

'ebbed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for receded that I've seen before include "Moved backwards" , "Fell back" , "withdrew" , "Ebbed" , "Pulled back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the King Feature Syndicate and the Evening Standard.
