AMAZING ONE WORD RIDDLE

What nine letter word in the English language is still a word each time eight letters are removed - one by one?

What if this was the only question on the exam paper to pass your English Exam. Would you pass?

Take a few minutes to try and come up with a nine letter word that fits the bill,

do the 8 letters still remain in the same order?
or do you mean that the word is getting shorter by one letter at a time?
