Monday's Riddle Is.......

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?

Have Fun!

Very Good! When I was in school there were only eight letters in the alphabet!
