Announce that one's beliefs have changed (6)

I believe the answer is:

recant

(Other definitions for recant that I've seen before include "Withdraw former statement or belief" , "Go back on a statement of belief" , "Renounce (a heresy)" , "Withdrawn former statement or belief" , "Deny" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
