Monitoring instrument in audition, one might interfere with play (6)
I believe the answer is:
censor
'play' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for censor that I've seen before include "Ban, cut" , "He bans books and films" , "Official banner of books, films etc" , "Blue-pencil official" , "Person authorised to remove unacceptable passages" .)
