Returns from business (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

takings

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
