Reportedly plant again and withdraw (6)
I believe the answer is:
recede
'withdraw' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'reportedly plant again' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'again' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'cede' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for recede that I've seen before include "Become more distant" , "Go backwards" , "Move backward" , "Withdraw" , "Start balding" .)
