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

'way of putting one's foot down' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'in support of country' is the wordplay.
'in support of' becomes 'pro' (I've seen this in another clue).
'country' becomes 'nation' (synonyms).
'pro'+'nation'='PRONATION'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for pronation that I've seen is " Putting foot down".)
