Crossword Genius

Take flight in retirement (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retreat

This clue is a double definition.

'take flight' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'retirement' is the second definition.
('retreat' can be a synonym of 'retirement')

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for retreat that I've seen before include "care home" , "unhappy manoeuvre" , "Tree rat (anag)" , "Give ground" , "Monastery - bugle call" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
