Music genre sure transformed language (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

discourse

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

'language' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'music genre sure transformed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'music' could be 'disco' (I've seen this before) and 'disco' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'sure' is 'urse' which is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for discourse that I've seen before include "Communication verbally" , "Speech - conversation" , "verbal communication" , "Engage in conversation; debate" , "Formal discussion of a topic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
