Tenor got copied and recorded (5)
I believe the answer is:
taped
'recorded' is the definition.
('tape' can be a synonym of 'record')
'tenor got copied' is the wordplay.
'tenor' becomes 't'.
'got' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'copied' becomes 'aped' ('ape' can be a synonym of 'copy').
't'+'aped'='TAPED'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for taped that I've seen before include "On record; tied up" , "Bound" , "recorded" , "put on record" .)
