Tab made from tobacco, untipped (7)
I believe the answer is:
account
'tab' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'from tobacco untipped' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ACCOUNT' can be found hidden inside 'tobacco untipped'.
'made' is the link.
(Other definitions for account that I've seen before include "News report" , "History" , "Narrative or invoice" , "Financial record; narrative" , "credit arrangement" .)
