Cut a record (5)
I believe the answer is:
score
I believe this is a double definition.
'cut' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a record' is the second definition.
(I know that score is a kind of record)
(Other definitions for score that I've seen before include "Total of points" , "Notch; twenty" , "Twenty; scratch" , "Music from film" , "Nick; twenty" .)
