The end of the act is copied and recorded (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taped

'recorded' is the definition.
('tape' can be a synonym of 'record')

'the end of the act is copied' is the wordplay.
'the end of the' says to take the final letters.
'is copied' becomes 'aped' (I've seen this in another clue).
The last letter of 'act' is 't'.
't'+'aped'='TAPED'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for taped that I've seen before include "put on record" , "recorded" , "Bound" , "On record; tied up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
