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