I believe the answer is:

thumped

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

'edward got the hump when hit' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'edward got the hump' is the wordplay.
'edward' becomes 'ted'.
'got' is an insertion indicator.
'ted' placed around 'hump' is 'THUMPED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thumped that I've seen before include "Struck hard" , "Hit hard with fist or heavy instrument" .)
