Recedes (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebbs

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ebbs that I've seen before include "Goes out like tide" , "Wanes" , "Subsides" , "flags" , "Flows back or recedes" .)

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