Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebbed

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">receded</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(ebbing is a kind of receding)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

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