Yield again and withdraw (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recede

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'yield again' is the first definition.
('cede' can be a synonym for 'yield' so perhaps 'recede' is OK for 'yield again')

'withdraw' is the second definition.
(I know that withdraw can be written as recede)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for recede that I've seen before include "Go back, ebb" , "Withdraw" , "Start balding" , "Decree (anag) - ebb" , "Decline" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent and The Irish News.
