Thin candles (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tapers

'thin candles' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tapers that I've seen before include "Prates about candle lighters" , "Makes or becomes gradually narrower" , "Long thin candles" , "Narrows toward a point" , "Diminishes gradually" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
