Withdraw to attend a yoga getaway, maybe (4,1,7)
I believe the answer is:
beat a retreat
'yoga getaway maybe' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'withdraw to attend a' is the wordplay.
'withdraw' becomes 'retreat' (synonyms).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'attend' becomes 'be at' (to be at an event is to attend it).
'beat'+'a'='beata'
'retreat' after 'beata' is 'BEAT A RETREAT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beat a retreat that I've seen before include "Retire hastily" , "Depart hastily" , "Withdraw quickly" , "Go away in a hurry" , "Withdraw to avoid something unpleasant" .)
