Slowly wear away (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erode

'slowly wear away' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for erode that I've seen before include "'Deteriorate, wear away (5)'" , "Slowly remove" , "Gradually destroy" , "Eat away" , "Abrade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the USA Today, the L.A. Times Daily, the Universal and the Newsday.
