Ross

'diminish' is the definition.
(tapering is a kind of diminishing)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for taper that I've seen before include "Get narrower towards end" , "Thin progressively" , "Become narrow" , "He records" , "On VHS he recorded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Independent, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, The Sun, The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal.
