Go back to surrender again

I believe the answer is:

recede

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'go back' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to surrender again' is the second definition.
('cede' can be a synonym for 'to surrender' so perhaps 'recede' is OK for 'to surrender again')

(Other definitions for recede that I've seen before include "Decree (anag) - ebb" , "Decline" , "Move backward" , "Go backwards" , "Become more distant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
