Set up society (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

institute

I believe this is a double definition.

'set up' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'society' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for institute that I've seen before include "Start - school" , "Organisation for promotion of scientific or educational activity" , "Establish, educational organisation" , "college" , "order as before" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
