Magazine passages artist retracted (7)
I believe the answer is:
arsenal
'magazine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'passages artist retracted' is the wordplay.
'passages' becomes 'lanes'.
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'retracted' is a reversal indicator.
'lanes'+'ra'='lanesra'
'lanesra' backwards is 'ARSENAL'.
(Other definitions for arsenal that I've seen before include "Cache of weapons or English soccer team" , "English football club and military depot" , "Weapon store - team" , "Supply of weapons" , "2014 and 2015 FA Cup winners" .)
