Which 8 letter word can have a letter taken away, yet still make a word. Then, another is taken away and it still makes a word. Keep on doing that until there is just one letter left. What is the word?

[Ken4155]

No, Quoi, a surprising answer would be 'startling', not starting:-)

[Baldric]

The word is starting! starting, staring, string, sting, sing, sin, in, I.
