Records attempts at weavings (10)
I believe the answer is:
tapestries
'weavings' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'records attempts' is the wordplay.
'records' becomes 'tapes' (taping is a kind of recording).
'attempts' becomes 'tries' ('try' can be a synonym of 'attempt').
'tapes'+'tries'='TAPESTRIES'
'at' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tapestries that I've seen before include ""Hang the lot of 'em!"" , "Textiles" , "Textile hangings" .)
