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