Again negotiate a withdrawal (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retreat

'a withdrawal' is the definition.
(I know that retreat is a type of withdrawal)

'again negotiate' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'negotiate' becomes 'treat' (I've seen this before).
're'+'treat'='RETREAT'

(Other definitions for retreat that I've seen before include "retirement" , "Leave - refuge" , "care home" , "Back away" , "What cowards might do" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
