Record by tenor in high definition reviewed in its complexity? (5)
I believe the answer is:
depth
'complexity?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'record by tenor in high definition' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'ep'.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tenor' becomes 't'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'high definition' becomes 'dh' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ep'+'t'='ept'
'ept' put within 'dh' is 'DEPTH'.
'reviewed in its' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for depth that I've seen before include "Thoroughness" , "Distance from the surface to the bottom" , "Deepness" , "Intensity; profundity" , "Profoundness" .)
