Wear away slowly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erode

'wear away slowly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for erode that I've seen before include "Eat away" , "Gradually wear away" , "Grind down" , "'Deteriorate, wear away (5)'" , "Corrode" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the USA Today.
