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

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for pained that I've seen before include "Distressed or hurt in feelings" , "Caused suffering to" , "Caused hurt." , "Distressed so it hurts?" , "Hurt and disapproving (6)" .)
