Sundays riddle:

[Pappy]

What 8 letter word can have a letter taken away and it still makes a word. Take another letter away and it still makes a word. Keep on doing that until you have one letter left. What is the word?

 

[Sassycakes]

I've been driving myself crazy(which is a short ride) trying to think what the word could be, and I think I got it.
Is the word Starting?

[Pappy]

Yes Sassy, you got it. Nice going. Ta-da.
