loops - Inverted Triangle

Question

I have a project due where I have to draw an inverted triangle using the for loop, however I have to use the word that the person inputed to make the triangle.

So... the output should look like this...

Enter a word:  hello
hello
hell
hel
he
h

however... mine looks like this

Enter a word: hello
hello
hello
hello
hello
hello
hello
hello
hello
hello
hello 

The code I printed looks like this:

System.out.println("Enter a word");
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

String a = keyboard.nextLine();
int rows = a.length()-1;

for(int i = rows; i > 0; i--){
  for(int j = i; j > 0; j--){
    System.out.println(a);
  }
}

I tried to search up how to fix it online, but the only thing that comes up is how to make triangles using * signs, but that doesn't seem to work when using words.

If anyone could help me figure out to get the above result it would be greatly appreciated.
