Record some of Verdi's compositions (4)
I believe the answer is:
disc
'record' is the definition.
(eg a CD, compact disc)
'some of verdi's compositions' is the wordplay.
'some of' indicates a hidden word.
'DISC' can be found hidden inside 'verdis compositions'.
(Other definitions for disc that I've seen before include "Spine cartilage layer" , "put on by jockey?" , "something moving in the spine" , "Part of flower" , "counter" .)
