A lie rises about show in parts (9)

I believe the answer is:

serialise

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

'show in parts' is the definition.
The definition suggests a verb in its base form which matches the answer.

'a lie rises about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'lie'+'rises'='alierises'
'alierises' anagrammed gives 'SERIALISE'.
