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

'he's looking for an argument' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'compile? it's easy' is the wordplay.
'easy' is an anagram indicator (a loosened or easy version of the letters).
'compile'+'its'='compileits'
'compileits' is an anagram of 'POLEMICIST'.
