Crossword Genius

Fellow member, male, disturbed by current submission (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

compliance

'submission' is the definition.
(I know that submission can be written as compliance)

'fellow member male disturbed by current' is the wordplay.
'fellow member' becomes 'comp' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'male' becomes 'Lance' (man's name).
'disturbed by' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters disturb or break up the word).
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'lance' placed around 'i' is 'liance'.
'comp'+'liance'='COMPLIANCE'

(Other definitions for compliance that I've seen before include "submission" , "Agreement" , "submissiveness" , "deference" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
