Take (or pull) back (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retract

This clue is a double definition.

'take' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'pull back' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(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.
