Whittle down (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pare

'whittle down' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pare that I've seen before include "Cut down gradually" , "Strip the skin from" , "Whittle" , "Trim off in layers" , "Shave or peel" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Star Tribune.
