Returns from business (7)
I believe the answer is:
takings
This clue could be a double definition.
'returns' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'business' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for takings that I've seen before include "Cash receipts" , "Income from sales, etc" , "What's in the till" , "gold received?" , "Monetary receipts" .)
