I believe the answer is:

nadir

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

'bottom' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pinched by harasser i'd angrily repelled' is the wordplay.
'NADIR' is hidden backwards within the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nadir that I've seen before include "businessman formerly escaping justice" , "Floor of drain in need of repair" , "The lowest point of anything" , "Lowest point, or time of deepest depression." , "Low spot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
