Can't it be shown as complete? (6)

I believe the answer is:

intact

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

'complete?' is the definition.
(intact can mean complete or undamaged)

'can't it be shown' is the wordplay.
'can't it' anagrams to 'INTACT'.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intact that I've seen before include "Complete - unbroken" , "Not damaged in any way" , "Whole and complete" , "Undamaged, not broken" , "Entire, untouched" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
