I believe the answer is:

gad

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

'exclamation' is the definition.

(Other definitions for gad that I've seen before include "Move about freely" , "biblical tribe" , "carefree adventure" , "Gallivant in search of pleasure" , "country of old" .)
