'started' is the definition.

'individual tucking into flan and wine' is the wordplay.
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'tucking into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'flan' becomes 'pie' (I've seen this in another clue).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.

'one' placed inside 'pie' is 'pionee'.
'pionee'+'red'='PIONEERED'
