Ring with news in current term (8)
I believe the answer is:
buzzword
'current term' is the definition.
'ring with news' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'buzz' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'news' becomes 'word' (synonyms).
'buzz'+'word'='BUZZWORD'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for buzzword that I've seen before include "Bit of in-group jargon" , "Unit of speech in vogue" , "Fashionable slogan" , "Fashionable new term" , "Bit of jargon that's become fashionable to say" .)
