A quack remedy from which most run (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nostrum

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

'a quack remedy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'which most run' is the wordplay.
'most run' can be anagrammed to 'NOSTRUM'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nostrum that I've seen before include "Must Ron take a quack remedy?" , "Phoney panacea" , "Quack cure" , "Some think it helps" , "Ineffective medical preparation" .)
