This clue might be a double definition.

'fool' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'obstruction' is the second definition.

'causes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clot that I've seen before include "Foolish person" , "Clumsy person" , "Semi-solid mass -- dunce" , "Stupid person - lump of blood" , "Coagulated blood; twit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
