Is concerned with the travels of Laertes (7)

I believe the answer is:

relates

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

'is concerned with the travels' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'of laertes' is the wordplay.
'of' is an anagram indicator (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'laertes' anagrammed gives 'RELATES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for relates that I've seen before include "couples" , "Tells (a tale)" , "Describes" , "Narrates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
