Volume runs from stream (4)
I believe the answer is:
book
'volume' is the definition.
(book is a kind of volume)
'runs from stream' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'from' is a deletion indicator.
'stream' becomes 'brook' (brook is a kind of stream).
'brook' with 'r' taken out is 'BOOK'.
(Other definitions for book that I've seen before include "Bound volume" , "strict regulations" , "thing that shouldn't be cooked?" , "Reserve - bets taken on a race" , "Reserve;tome" .)
