Slender candle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taper

'slender candle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for taper that I've seen before include "Narrow gradually as candle may" , "See the light" , "Get to the point" , "Get thinner towards the end" , "Thin wick" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Star Tribune, the LA Times and The Sun.
