Rages on about how they're often squeezed? (7)

I believe the answer is:

oranges

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

'they're often squeezed?' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'rages on about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'rages'+'on'='rageson'
'rageson' anagrammed gives 'ORANGES'.

'how' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oranges that I've seen before include "Mandarins, satsumas etc." , "Citrus fruit" , "a zesty lot" , "See 8" , "Go snare these fruits" .)
