Appear on stage to record (5)
I believe the answer is:
enter
This clue might be a double definition.
'appear on stage' is the first definition.
'enter' can be an answer for 'appear' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'on stage' bit.
'to record' is the second definition.
(enter can mean to enter into a record)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enter that I've seen before include "Come in - register" , "submit?" , "Gain access to" , "Fill in" , "Introduce" .)
