Discharge also worked around five (5)
I believe the answer is:
salvo
'discharge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'also worked around five' is the wordplay.
'worked' is an anagram indicator.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'five' becomes 'V' (Roman numeral).
'also' anagrammed gives 'salo'.
'salo' placed around 'v' is 'SALVO'.
(Other definitions for salvo that I've seen before include "Simultaneous burst of gunfire" , "Simultaneous firing of weapons" , "Burst (of applause, insults, artillery etc)" , "Simultaneous discharge of artillery" , "Simultaneous discharge of guns" .)
