Withdraw place of refuge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retreat

This clue is a triple definition!

'withdraw' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'place' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'secluded place' mean 'retreat' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'retreat')

'of' acts as a link.

'refuge' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for retreat that I've seen before include "Take flight" , "care home" , "Go back" , "Withdraw from battle" , "snug" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
