withdrawal
Taking money out
Withdrawal is the act of removing or taking back.
You can make a withdrawal from a bank account, withdraw troops from a battlefield, or withdraw a comment you regret.
Withdrawal from a competition or agreement means pulling out.
In medicine, withdrawal describes the physical and psychological symptoms that occur when someone stops using an addictive substance: He went through heroin withdrawal.
The word also describes emotional retreat—becoming less engaged or communicative: Her withdrawal from family life worried everyone.
