Whitened (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bleached

'whitened' is the definition.
(bleaching is a kind of whitening)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for bleached that I've seen before include "Chemically whitened" , "Paled" , "Whitened or removed colour from" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Evening Standard.
