I believe the answer is:

retreat

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">move back</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">withdraw</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that retreat is a more specific form of the action the withdraw)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for retreat that I've seen before include "unhappy manoeuvre" , "care home" , "snug" , "concession" , "place for meditation" .)
