Director hurried to secure carpeting for shop (9)
I believe the answer is:
drugstore
'for shop' is the definition.
(drugstore is a kind of shop)
'director hurried to secure carpeting' is the wordplay.
'director' becomes 'd'.
'hurried' becomes 'tore' (tearing is a kind of hurrying).
'to secure' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are secured inside).
'carpeting' becomes 'rugs' (rug is a type of carpet).
'd'+'tore'='dtore'
'dtore' going around 'rugs' is 'DRUGSTORE'.
(Other definitions for drugstore that I've seen before include "Shop selling various items" , "Chemist's shop in USA, also sells ice-cream" , "American chemist's shop, also sells refreshments" , "An American chemist shop, also sells other things" , "US shop" .)
