Currently connected (5)
I believe the answer is:
wired
'connected' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wired that I've seen before include "In a tense state" , "Connected to an electricity supply" , "Equipped for electrical connection" , "set up for broadcast?" , "having Internet connection" .)
