Brummie goes on record over animated artificial human (5)
I believe the answer is:
golem
'animated artificial human' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'brummie goes on record over' is the wordplay.
'brummie' becomes 'me' (where the crossword setter is 'Brummie').
'goes on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'record' becomes 'log' (logging is a kind of recording).
'over' is a reversal indicator.
'me'+'log'='melog'
'melog' backwards is 'GOLEM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for golem that I've seen before include "supernaturally animated" , "creature of Jewish legend?" , "Animated artificial human from Jewish folklore" , "(In Jewish legend) a clay figure brought to life" , "something robotic" .)
