I believe the answer is:

eructation

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

'gas explosion' is the definition.
'eructation' can be an answer for 'gas' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'explosion' bit.

'jittery neurotic around a time' is the wordplay.
'jittery' indicates an anagram.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'neurotic' anagrammed gives 'eruction'.
'a'+'t'='at'
'eruction' going around 'at' is 'ERUCTATION'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
