Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebbed

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">receded</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(ebbing is a kind of receding)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for ebbed that I've seen before include "Diminished" , "Went out like tide" , "Flowed back or receded" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the USA Today, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune, the Universal, the Evening Standard, the Penny Press, The Mirror and the King Feature Syndicate.
