Complain about a record made for the trade (9)
I believe the answer is:
carpentry
'for the trade' is the definition.
(carpentry is a kind of trade)
'complain about a record' is the wordplay.
'complain about' becomes 'carp' (carp can informally mean to complain or whinge. I am not sure about the 'about' bit.).
'a record' becomes 'entry' (eg entry in a list).
'carp'+'entry'='CARPENTRY'
'made' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carpentry that I've seen before include "Joining work" , "Manipulating deal, perhaps" , "Craft of a woodworker" , "Trade" , "Woodworking" .)
