Give up (a role) (6)

I believe the answer is:

vacate

(Other definitions for vacate that I've seen before include "Depart from, leave empty" , "Move out and leave empty" , "Leave (a place previously occupied)" , "Clear out and leave empty" , "Caveat - cease to occupy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
