Put off from getting a record of how old we are (10)
I believe the answer is:
discourage
'put off' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'getting a record of how old we are' is the wordplay.
'getting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'record' becomes 'disc' (eg a CD, compact disc).
'of' becomes 'o''.
'how old we are' becomes 'urge' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'disc'+'o'+'urge'='discourge'
'a' put into 'discourge' is 'DISCOURAGE'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for discourage that I've seen before include "Try to stop" , "Put off" , "Talk out of" , "Deter; dishearten" , "Cause loss of enthusiasm in (someone)" .)
