Complain over 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 over a record' is the wordplay.
'complain' becomes 'carp' (carp can informally mean to complain or whinge).
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go over others).
'a record' becomes 'entry' (eg entry in a list).
'carp'+'entry'='CARPENTRY'
'made' is the link.
(Other definitions for carpentry that I've seen before include "Trade" , "part of building" , "Joining work" , "The purpose of chips" , "Woodworking" .)
