Show one way to parry? (7)

I believe the answer is:

portray

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'show' is the definition.
(to portray is to show or depict)

'one way to parry?' is the wordplay.
'to parry' anagrams to 'PORTRAY'.
Though, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for portray that I've seen before include "Depict, present" , "Describe in words or make a picture" , "Play" , "Delineate" , "Show" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
