Business proceedings under Asian runner (10)
I believe the answer is:
industrial
'business' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'proceedings under asian runner' is the wordplay.
'proceedings' becomes 'trial' (trial is a kind of proceedings).
'under' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'asian runner' becomes 'indus' (I've seen this before).
'trial' put after 'indus' is 'INDUSTRIAL'.
(Other definitions for industrial that I've seen before include "plants may be so described" , "Like some business" , "Like manufacturing" , "Inlaid rust (anag.)" , "Rapid social changes, starting in Britain from about 1760" .)
