Politely refuse (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decline

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for decline that I've seen before include "Start to fail" , "Diminish; deteriorate" , "Turn down; deteriorate" , "The classics student must often" , "Become fewer; politely refuse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
