Wears away (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erodes

'wears away' is the definition.
('erode' can be a synonym of 'wear away')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for erodes that I've seen before include "Eats away" , "Wears away as by time or water" , "Wears away with weather" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror, the Newsday, the Penny Press, the Evening Standard, The New York Times, the USA Today and the LA Times.
