Complaint from bishop returning payment (4)
I believe the answer is:
beef
'complaint' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'bishop returning payment' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'b' (abbreviation used in chess).
'returning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'payment' becomes 'fee' (I've seen this before).
'fee' backwards is 'eef'.
'b'+'eef'='BEEF'
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for beef that I've seen before include "nickname of US State" , "Argument" , "Strength - grievance" , "Complaint; muscle" , "Brawn; grumble" .)
