repress

'master' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'make more records' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'make' could be 'press' (pressing is a kind of making) and 'press' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 're' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for repress that I've seen before include "keep back" , "Subdue" , "Restrict freedom of" , "Silence" , "bottle up" .)
