Take (or pull) back (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retract

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">take</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(thesaurus)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">pull back</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for retract that I've seen before include "Sheathe" , "Take back what was said" , "Recant" , "Take back (statement)" , "Withdraw as unjustified" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
