Kept a record, as arranged (6)
I believe the answer is:
scored
'kept' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'a record as arranged' is the wordplay.
'a record' becomes 'score' (I've seen this before).
'as arranged' becomes 'd' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'score'+'d'='SCORED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scored that I've seen before include "Marked" , "Made runs" , "Hit - orchestrated" , "graded" , "Cut" .)
