Ross

I believe the answer is:

aisle

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

'passage' is the definition.
(aisle can mean a path or passageway)

'i'll repeat a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'isle' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aisle that I've seen before include "channel" , "Way between seating areas" , "Passageway between seating areas" , "Divide in a church" , "Part of supermarket" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
