withdraw

Take money out

To withdraw is to pull back or remove.

You withdraw money from an account, withdraw troops from a position, or withdraw a statement you regret.

The reflexive use suggests retreating into oneself: She withdrew after the argument.

Withdrawal describes the process, and also the physical symptoms when stopping an addictive substance: heroin withdrawal.
