discourage

'warn' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'record at our time of life' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'disc' (eg a CD, compact disc).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time of life' becomes 'age' (age is a kind of time of life).
'disc'+'our'+'age'='DISCOURAGE'

'against for the' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
