Negative electrode (7)

I believe the answer is:

cathode

(Other definitions for cathode that I've seen before include "Battery terminal" , "Conductor by which electricity leaves a device" , "Ray" , "Electrical terminal" , "Part of an electrolytic cell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and the Sydney Morning Herald.
