Record keeper (9)
(Other definitions for registrar that I've seen before include "Official record keeper" , "Official record-keeper" , "Mid-ranking doctor" , "Keeper of official records - hospital doctor" , "University official" .)
This clue might be a double definition.
'record' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'best record' mean 'number one' so perhaps 'record' could also mean 'number one')
'keeper?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
