Recedes (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebbs

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">recedes</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 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 Universal, The Star Tribune, the Evening Standard, the Newsday, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Daily Mail, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and The Mirror.
