I believe the answer is:

yahoo

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

'coarse fellow able' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'make hay and love repeatedly' is the wordplay.
'make' is an anagram indicator.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'repeatedly' says to double the letters.
'o' doubled is 'oo'.
'hay' with letters rearranged gives 'yah'.
'yah'+'oo'='YAHOO'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
