Find record has finished (8)
I believe the answer is:
discover
'find' is the definition.
('discover' can be a synonym of 'find')
'record has finished' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'disc' ('disc' can be a synonym of 'record'**).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'finished' becomes 'over' ('over' can be similar in meaning to 'finished').
'disc'+'over'='DISCOVER'
(Other definitions for discover that I've seen before include "turn up" , "Be first to observe" , "Find out about divorces" , "Show up" , "Uncover, find" .)
