Like some candles (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tapered

'like some candles' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tapered that I've seen before include "Narrowing towards one end" , "Gradually diminished" , "Coming to a point" , "Narrowed by red tape" , "Narrowing to a point" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
