I believe the answer is:

dub

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

'confer knighthood?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'indubitably' is the wordplay.
'DUB' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dub that I've seen before include "Reggae" , "Knight (someone) with a sword" , "Add soundtrack to film in another language" , "Copy to tape or disc" , "Give nickname, knighthood, to" .)
