Cricket jargon - a batsman retires when he interrupts his innings voluntarily. If he does so due to injury or illness he may resume his innings later. If he does so for any other reason he may not resume without the permission of the opposing captain.

Contronymic in the sense: retreat vs. renew, as in put new tires on your car.
