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 USA Today, The New York Times, the LA Times, the Penny Press, the Evening Standard, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror, The Daily Mail and the Newsday.
