What is wrong in a record being beaten? (6)
I believe the answer is:
losing
'being beaten?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'what is wrong in a record' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'wrong' could be 'sin' (wrong can mean a sin or crime) and 'sin' is found within the answer.
'record' could be 'log' (logging is a kind of recording) and 'log' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for losing that I've seen before include "Mislaying; failing to win" , "Mislaying or being defeated" , "Failing to keep" , "Misplacing or being defeated" , "Logs in (anag.)" .)
