Show on the record that you are beaten by (8)
I believe the answer is:
disclose
'show on the record that you are beaten by' is the definition.
'disclose' can be an answer for 'show' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the remainder of the definition.
'show on the record' is the wordplay.
'show' becomes 'lose' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the record' becomes 'disc' ('disc' can be a synonym of 'record').
'lose' put after 'disc' is 'DISCLOSE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disclose that I've seen before include "Divulge, reveal" , "Uncover" , "Lay bare" , "Divulge or expose" , "Announce" .)
