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

'as eaten' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'by a bachelor as an afterthought?' is the wordplay.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a bachelor as' becomes 'ba' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'an afterthought?' becomes 'ps' (ps stands for postscript).
'ba' put next to 'ps' is 'BAPS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for baps that I've seen before include "Round rolls of soft bread" , "buns" .)
