Recedes (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebbs

'recedes' is the definition.
(ebbing is a kind of receding)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ebbs that I've seen before include "Goes out like tide" , "Wanes" , "Subsides" , "flags" , "Flows back or recedes" .)

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