Tract from English Society for example (5)
I believe the answer is:
essay
'tract' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'english society for example' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'for example' becomes 'say' (I've seen this before).
'e'+'s'+'say'='ESSAY'
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for essay that I've seen before include "Short literary piece: attempt" , "Try - composition" , "School composition" , "Trial, piece of writing" , "Written academic work" .)
