Show by your expression, when you enter (8)
I believe the answer is:
register
'enter' is the definition.
(I know that register is a type of enter)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for register that I've seen before include "a manner of speaking" , "part of our paper" , "To express" , "(Enrol in) list" , "Log" .)
