This clue might be a double definition.

'a fitting' is the first definition.
(I know that fitting can be written as try-on)

'tribute retiree initially going to that local' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for try-on that I've seen before include "Don garment to see if it fits" , "An attempt to deceive" , "Test a garment" , "Attempt at deception" , "Attempt to fool someone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
