Record difficult to hold up for example is released (10)
I believe the answer is:
discharged
'is released' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'record difficult to hold up for example' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'disc' (eg a CD, compact disc).
'difficult' becomes 'hard' (synonyms).
'to hold' indicates putting letters inside.
'up for example' becomes 'ge' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'hard' placed around 'ge' is 'harged'.
'disc'+'harged'='DISCHARGED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for discharged that I've seen before include "let off" , "Fired" , "released" .)
