Strap-splitting scene many recall (7)

I believe the answer is:

rescind

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

'recall' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'strap-splitting scene many' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'scene' could be 'sc' (abbreviation) and 'sc' is present in the answer.
'strap' could be 'rein' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'rein' is present in the leftover letters.
'many' could be 'd' (Roman numeral for 500) and 'd' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
