'tear about to make me' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'weary after finishing work' is the wordplay.
'weary' becomes 'retire' (retiring is a kind of wearying).
'after finishing work' becomes 'ment' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'retire'+'ment'='RETIREMENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for retirement that I've seen before include "Time without any work being done" , "Life after work" , "Going to bed? - I met renter (anag)" , "Process of withdrawing" , "period as emeritus?" .)
