I believe the answer is:

echt

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

'genuine' is the definition.
(echt means genuine or authentic)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for echt that I've seen before include "Genuine - authentic" , "Really" , "Authentic (from German)" , "Genuine (German)" , "German's real" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
