Issues with electronic fuses (7)
I believe the answer is:
emerges
'issues' is the definition.
('emerge' can be a synonym of 'issue')
'with electronic fuses' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'electronic' becomes 'e' (as in e-mail or e-books).
'fuses' becomes 'merges' ('merge' can be a synonym of 'fuse').
'e' put next to 'merges' is 'EMERGES'.
(Other definitions for emerges that I've seen before include "Turns out" , "Comes out" , "appears" , "Issues" .)
