Long-term result of a run on the bank? (7)

I believe the answer is:

erosion

(Other definitions for erosion that I've seen before include "The wearing away by weather 97)" , "The gradual wearing away by weather" , "Disintegration" , "Mechanical process of wearing something down" , "The wearing away by water or weather" .)

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