Falls away (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebbs

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ebbs that I've seen before include "Goes out like tide" , "Flows back - declines" , "Declines gradually" , "Flows back or recedes" , "Subsides" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
