Recognise record after hearing it regularly (7)
I believe the answer is:
discern
'recognise' is the definition.
(I know that recognise can be written as discern)
'record after hearing it regularly' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'record' could be 'disc' (eg a CD, compact disc) and 'disc' is located in the answer.
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for discern that I've seen before include "See" , "Espy" , "Notice" , "Cinders (anag)" , "Perceive - distinguish" .)
