Wears away (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erodes

'wears away' is the definition.
('erode' can be a synonym of 'wear away')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for erodes that I've seen before include "Eats away" , "Wears away as by time or water" , "Wears away with weather" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail, The Mirror, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard, the Newsday, the Penny Press, the LA Times and The New York Times.
