Ted has arranged departures (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deaths

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

'departures' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'ted has arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator.
'ted'+'has'='tedhas'
'tedhas' with letters rearranged gives 'DEATHS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deaths that I've seen before include "Fatalities" , "Passings" , "Ends, demises" .)
