Stopping work and going to bed (8)
I believe the answer is:
retiring
This could be a double definition.
'stopping work' is the first definition.
'retiring' can be an answer for 'stopping' (retiring is a kind of stopping). I am not sure about the 'work' bit.
'going to bed' is the second definition.
('retire' can be a synonym of 'go to bed')
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for retiring that I've seen before include "Stopping work permanently" , "Shy, avoiding company" , "Quiet" , "stepping back" , "Shy; stopping work" .)
