Shrink from engagement (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

contract

This clue is a double definition.

'shrink' is the first definition.
(I know that contract is a kind of shrink)

'engagement' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for contract that I've seen before include "bargain" , "Undertake" , "four spades, perhaps" , "Make smaller" , "Shrink in legal agreement?" .)
