Record Bolshevik making a point? (7)
I believe the answer is:
tapered
'record bolshevik making a point?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'record bolshevik' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'tape' (taping is a kind of recording).
'bolshevik' becomes 'red' (type of communist or 'red').
'tape'+'red'='TAPERED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tapered that I've seen before include "Narrowing to a point" , "With thickness reduced towards an end" , "Narrowing towards one end" , "Reducing to a final point" , "Coming to a point" .)
