stoical

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

'indifferent to pain or pleasure' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'a clot is strangely' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'clot'+'is'='aclotis'
'aclotis' with letters rearranged gives 'STOICAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stoical that I've seen before include "able to endure suffering" , "Enduring hardship without complaining" , "Uncomplaining in the face of adversity" , "Showing endurance" , "Suffering patiently" .)
