Record parent misbehaving in conflict (10)

I believe the answer is:

discrepant

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

'record parent misbehaving in conflict' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'record parent misbehaving' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'disc' (eg a CD, compact disc).
'misbehaving' is an anagram indicator.
'parent' anagrammed gives 'repant'.
'disc'+'repant'='DISCREPANT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for discrepant that I've seen is " Contrary, disagreeing".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
