Record ain’t broken providing delight (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entertain

'delight' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'record ain't broken' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'enter' (synonyms).
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'aint' anagrammed gives 'tain'.
'enter'+'tain'='ENTERTAIN'

'providing' is the link.

(Other definitions for entertain that I've seen before include "Put up" , "harbour" , "Show hospitality to; amuse" , "Please < flirt with" , "Create a diversion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
