Dutch society procuring English beer runs joint franchise (10)
I believe the answer is:
dealership
'franchise' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'dutch society procuring english beer runs joint' is the wordplay.
'dutch society' becomes 'des' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'procuring' indicates putting letters inside.
'english beer' becomes 'ale' (I've seen this before).
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'joint' becomes 'hip' (part of body).
'ale'+'r'='aler'
'des' enclosing 'aler' is 'dealers'.
'dealers'+'hip'='DEALERSHIP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dealership that I've seen before include "commercial entity" , "Car sales outlet" , "Business" , "car showroom?" , "Franchise to sell for a company" .)
