Shame seeing recording, evidently blushing over it (9)

I believe the answer is:

discredit

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

'shame' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'recording evidently blushing over it' is the wordplay.
'recording evidently' becomes 'disc' (disc is a kind of recording. I am not sure about the 'evidently' bit.).
'blushing' becomes 'red' (blushing makes someone's face go red).
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go over others).
'disc'+'red'+'it'='DISCREDIT'

'seeing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for discredit that I've seen before include "shame?" , "To tarnish" , "harm done to reputation" , "Damage reputation of, cause to be disbelieved" , "damage to good name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
