Receded (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebbed

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

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