'spain' is the definition.
I know that 'spain' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns

'clip of acrobat or erotic entertainer' is the wordplay.
'clip of' indicates the central letters (I've seen 'clip' mean this (the wings or edge letters of the word get clipped)).
'acrobat' becomes 'contortionist' (contortionist is a kind of acrobat).
'erotic entertainer' becomes 'ero' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The central letter of 'contortionist' is 't'.
't'+'or'+'ero'='TORERO'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for torero that I've seen before include "Spaniard in ring" , "One perhaps impaled" , "Blood-sport participant" , "Spanish fighter" , "Bullring occupant" .)
