Record I request, ultimately wanting sound (7)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
logical
'sound' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'record i request ultimately wanting' is the wordplay.
'record i' becomes 'logi' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'request' becomes 'call' (calling is a kind of requesting).
'ultimately wanting' means to remove the last letter (wanting can mean lacking).
'call' with its final letter removed is 'cal'.
'logi'+'cal'='LOGICAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for logical that I've seen before include "Based on reason" , "Sound" , "In accordance with reason" , "Following correct reasoning" , "Well thought out" .)
