Receding tide (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebb

'receding tide' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ebb that I've seen before include "(Sea) recede" , "Withdraw heartless" , "Abate" , "Not to wax" , "state of decline" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal, the L.A. Times Daily and The Times.
