hint

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

'clue' is the definition.
(I know that clue can be written as hint)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for hint that I've seen before include "Tip, clue" , "Indirect clue" , "CRT screen coating" , "Indicate indirectly" , "Taste" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
