I believe the answer is:

hands-down

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

'easily' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'fingers touching floor' is the wordplay.
'fingers touching' becomes 'hands' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'floor' becomes 'down' (both can mean to knock to the ground).
'hands'+'down'='HANDS-DOWN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hands-down that I've seen before include "Leaves - effortlessly" , "Win thus to have easy victory" , "Win thus manually for clear victory" , "Of victory, won easily in manual manner?" , "Win thus, easily and completely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
