withdrawing

Taking money out

Withdrawing is pulling back or removing from a place, position, or situation.

Money is withdrawn from accounts, troops from battlefields, candidates from races.

Someone withdrawing from a conversation becomes quiet and disengaged: She's been withdrawing from friends lately.

Withdrawing also describes the process of stopping an addictive substance: He's withdrawing from opioids.
