Deals with current outbursts (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tirades

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

'outbursts' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'deals with current' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'current' could be 'i' (symbol for electric current) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'deals' could be 'trades' ('trade' can be a synonym of 'deal') and 'trades' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tirades that I've seen before include "Speeches of violent denunciation" , "torrents of abuse" , "stormy blasts" , "Abusive words" , "Rants" .)
