Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
RETREAT (O. Fr. retrete, mod. retraite, from Lat. retrahere, to draw back) , a withdrawal, especially of a
body
  of troops after a defeat or in face of a superior enemy. In military usage "
retreat
  " is also the
term
  for a
signal
 , given by bugle and drum at or about sunset. It is the last general
signal
  before "
tattoo
 ." In religious usage, a "
retreat
  " is a period and place set apart for
prayer
 , self-examination and other spiritual exercises. Such " retreats " conducted by a director have
long
  been the practice in the Roman
Church

Church
  by Pusey. The word is also used of an institution or
home
  where insane persons or habitual inebriates may be treated. For the law relating to " licensed retreats " for inebriates, see INEBRIETY, LAW OF.
