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 Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, the LA Times, the Evening Standard and The Wall Street Journal.
