A good deal may come of it (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

timberyard

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a good' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'deal may come of it' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'deal' could be 'timber' (I've seen this before) and 'timber' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'yard' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for timberyard that I've seen is " supplier of building materials".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
