Usage Note

Retirado is the past participle of retirarse used as an adjective. It means retired from work (un médico retirado, 'a retired doctor') or, in a more literary sense, set apart or secluded from the world (un lugar retirado, 'a secluded spot'). The noun un retirado can informally describe a retired person, though jubilado is more common for someone drawing a pension.
