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

'generous' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'father in supreme court promises to pay' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'supreme court' becomes 'sc' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'promises to pay' becomes 'ious' (more than one iou).
'pa' placed into 'sc' is 'spac'.
'spac'+'ious'='SPACIOUS'

Can you help me to learn more?
