Where the current goes out (7)

I believe the answer is:

cathode

(Other definitions for cathode that I've seen before include "Negative terminal" , "Conductor by which electricity leaves a device" , "Opposite of anode" , "Ray" , "Negatively charged terminal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
