Thanks to you both Terry and Helena - societies it is and now that you have given the answer I can even see the wordplay - I can finish the crossword a happy woman!
All I can come up with,and I don't know of what use it is: SOCIETE ANON.-French for an anonymous society or a joint stock company.
Uses most of your letters.

And thanks as well Joker - if I had done the obvious thing as you suggested and put in all the information I had if woudl have made it a lot easier for everyone else! Because the EV can be a bit tortured I tend not to but I will remember next time! Thanks again
