Shock agreement from German, right? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jar

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

'shock' is the definition.
(both can mean to shake)

'agreement from german right?' is the wordplay.
'agreement from german' becomes 'j' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'right?' becomes 'ar' (I've seen this in other clues).
'j'+'ar'='JAR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jar that I've seen before include "Wide-mouthed vessel" , "Disturbing effect" , "Grate" , "Shock; container" , "drink" .)
