Record rush to secure bit of gold in stream maybe (9)
I believe the answer is:
discharge
'secure bit of gold in stream maybe' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'record rush' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'dis' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rush' becomes 'charge' (charging is a kind of rushing).
'dis'+'charge'='DISCHARGE'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for discharge that I've seen before include "empty" , "Performance" , "Send away - perform" , "Dismiss (from a job)" , "Put out" .)
