Crossword Genius

Go back to the asylum (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retreat

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'go' is the first definition.
(retreating is a kind of going)

'back' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'to' is a link.

'the asylum' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for retreat that I've seen before include "It may be secluded" , "unhappy manoeuvre" , "secluded place" , "place for meditation" , "care home" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
