Deteriorate slowly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erode

'deteriorate slowly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for erode that I've seen before include "Wear away with weather" , "Abrade" , "Gradually wear away" , "Slowly remove" , "Grind down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
