Go into current recession (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebb

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'go' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'current recession' is the second definition.
'ebb' can be an answer for 'recession' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'current' bit.

'into' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ebb that I've seen before include "(Water) recede" , "Type of tide" , "Not to wax" , "Abate" , "Fall back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
