Current agreement, perfect (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ideal

'perfect' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'current agreement' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'I' (physics symbol).
'agreement' becomes 'deal' (deal is a kind of agreement).
'i'+'deal'='IDEAL'

(Other definitions for ideal that I've seen before include "Nonpareil" , "Just right" , "Ailed (anag)" , "Perfect; a standard of perfection" , "Perfect but not likely to become a reality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
