Dances to record, entertaining elder relative (8)
I believe the answer is:
ancestor
'elder relative' is the definition.
'ancestor' can be an answer for 'relative' (ancestor is a kind of relative). I'm not sure about the 'elder' bit.
'dances to record entertaining' is the wordplay.
'entertaining' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ANCESTOR' can be found hidden inside 'dances to record'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ancestor that I've seen before include "Forefather" , "Predecessor" , "An escort (anag.)" , "descent comes from one" , "Adam was our first one" .)
