Renewed Oriental alliance (8)
I believe the answer is:
relation
'alliance' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'renewed oriental' is the wordplay.
'renewed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'oriental' is an anagram of 'RELATION'.
(Other definitions for relation that I've seen before include "report" , "Oriental kind of family connection" , "One of the family" , "Kinsman or kinswoman" , "Oriental (anag.)" .)
