Record on? Something sure to rattle (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disconcert

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to rattle' is the definition.
(both can mean to unsettle)

'record on? something' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'disc' (eg a CD, compact disc).
'something' becomes 'cert' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'disc'+'on'+'cert'='DISCONCERT'

'sure' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disconcert that I've seen before include "Bother" , "Throw" , "Dismay" , "Confuse; worry" , "Disturb, unsettle" .)
