Peddle loud record (4)
I believe the answer is:
flog
'peddle' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'loud record' is the wordplay.
'loud' becomes 'f' (short for forte - 'loud' in music).
'record' becomes 'log' (log is a kind of record).
'f'+'log'='FLOG'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flog that I've seen before include "-- Hitler" , "Swing a cat, perhaps" , "Scourge, whip" , "Exchange for money" , "Beat with whip or slangily sell" .)
