brain tweaking

a common english word
nine letters long
subtract one letter, it still is an english word.
brush off another, it remains an english word.

nine letters all the way down to one letter- are all english words.
what word is it?
and the subsequent words?

and no cheating!

This is probably sad but I don't even know how to cheat. Will you just tell me what it is?
PLEASE?
