I believe the answer is:

moo

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'a low' is the first definition.
(both can mean to make the noise of a cow)

'utterance' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moo that I've seen before include "Cow's sound" , "unpopular woman" , "Irritating woman" , "Low (of cattle)" , "Cow's call" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
