I believe the answer is:

paean

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

'hymn' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paean that I've seen before include "Encomium, eulogy" , "Formal expression of praise" , "work building up" , "A song of triumph or praise" , "Panegyric" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
