This might be a double definition.

'end' is the first definition.
(eg the stub of a cigarette)

'delight?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stub that I've seen before include "Stump, of a cigarette say" , "Fag-end of cigerette or cheque counterfoil" , "Possible proof of journey" , "Ticket counterfoil" , "What's left after the ticket is gone" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
