Give up work (6)

I think it could be either:

retire

resign

'give up work' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for retire that I've seen before include "Stop work - go to bed" , "Step down" , "climb the stairs" , "Pull back" , "Stop climbing the ladder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
