Go on with most of the takings (7)
I believe the answer is:
proceed
'go on with' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'most of the takings' is the wordplay.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'the takings' becomes 'proceeds' ('proceeds' can be a synonym of 'takings').
'proceeds' with its final letter taken off is 'PROCEED'.
(Other definitions for proceed that I've seen before include "Continue, carry on" , "Move forward" , "Continue; advance" , "Go forward" , "Continue, go ahead" .)
