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