The answer to "Recede, as the tide" is EBB.
The word ebb refers to the movement of the tide as it recedes or flows away from the shore after reaching its highest point, transitioning from high tide to low tide over several hours. During an ebb tide, the water level gradually declines, revealing more of the shoreline and tidal pools, as currents shift direction and begin flowing back toward the ocean. This cyclical falling away is both a physical phenomenon—a result of the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on ocean waters—and a metaphor for any situation where something diminishes or retreats.
