Find record at an end (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4

8

discover

'find' is the definition.
('discover' can be a synonym of 'find')

'record at an end' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'disc' ('disc' can be a synonym of 'record').
'at an end' becomes 'over'.
'disc'+'over'='DISCOVER'

(Other definitions for discover that I've seen before include "Come upon" , "Be first to observe" , "Make a new finding" , "Be the first to find something" , "Uncover, find" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
