air

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

'trapped wind' is the definition.
'air' can be an answer for 'wind' (air is a kind of wind). I am not sure about the 'trapped' bit.

'arabian with touch of irritating' is the wordplay.
'arabian' becomes 'Ar.' (abbreviation in Chambers).
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'touch of' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'irritating' is 'i'.
'ar' going around 'i' is 'AIR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for air that I've seen before include "Broadcast; tune" , "Space above and around" , "Atmosphere surrounding the earth" , "Divulge" , "Bearing, manner" .)
