Hi, a Riddle for you..If no one answers correctly, I'll post the answer in a while :D

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time? [/FONT]
 
Is it the last letter that is meant to be removed each time or can you take a letter from anywhere in the word?
 
Hi, it's up to you, you can take a letter from anywhere in the word :)
 
If i understand this correctly i came up with a few words that were close, one was apathetic.

a
at
apt
path
patch
haptic or capita
attache
pathetic or capitate
apathetic

think i got it?

yes/no? coming up with a unique word was very difficult, it took me a lot longer than id like to admit.
 
Hi Mond...You didn't get the word I had in mind...Too clever!!! you've invented your own :D

My base word was Startling - starting - staring - string - sting - sing - sin - in - I
