Cease working (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

retire

strike

'cease working' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for retire that I've seen before include "Pull back" , "Get your head down" , "Give up working and go to bed" , "Leave work; go back" , "Give up work for good" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
