Fall away, decline (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebb

I believe this is a double definition.

'fall away' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'decline' is the second definition.
(ebb is a kind of decline)

(Other definitions for ebb that I've seen before include "Tidal retreat" , "Withdraw heartless" , "Fall back" , "Type of tide" , "Drain away; decline" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
