Which eight-letter word still remains a word after removing each letter from it?

Choose an answer

A.Starting
B.Painting

Hint: It's a 9-word phrase with 43 letters, starting with "S".

Answer

Staring (starting, staring, string, sting, sing, sin, in, I)

Why this is the answer

Removing one letter at a time from "starting" yields a chain of real words: starting → staring → string → sting → sing → sin → in → I.
