Diminish (4)

Ross

'diminish' is the definition.
(I know that fade is a more specific form of the action the weaken)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for fade that I've seen before include "Wither away" , "Gradually grow faint" , "Bleach or decline" , "Die away" , "Grow dimmer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, The New York Times, The Star Tribune, the King Feature Syndicate and the Penny Press.
