Leaves on even terms (5)
I believe the answer is:
quits
I believe this is a double definition.
'leaves' is the first definition.
('quit' can be a synonym of 'leave')
'on even terms' is the second definition.
(as in 'call it quits')
(Other definitions for quits that I've seen before include "On even terms again" , "Leaves - all square" , "Even - leaves" , "Abandons" , "On equal terms" .)
