Make a record of western ceremony (5)
I believe the answer is:
write
'make a record' is the definition.
'write' can be an answer for 'make' (writing is a kind of making). I am not sure about the 'a record' bit.
'western ceremony' is the wordplay.
'western' becomes 'w'.
'ceremony' becomes 'rite' (rite is a kind of ceremony).
'w'+'rite'='WRITE'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for write that I've seen before include "Create (manuscript)" , "Inscribe" , "Use a pen/pencil" , "Produce text" , "Put down in black and white" .)
