Receded (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebbed

'receded' is the definition.
(ebbing is a kind of receding)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ebbed that I've seen before include "Diminished" , "Went out like tide" , "Flowed back or receded" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror, the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune and the Evening Standard.
