Could remember being withdrawn (8)

I believe the answer is:

recalled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'withdrawn' is the definition.
('recall' can be a synonym of 'withdraw')

'could remember' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'remember' could be 'recall' (to recall something is to remember it) and 'recall' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for recalled that I've seen before include "Brought to mind" , "Summoned back or remembered" .)
