buck

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

'horny male' is the definition.
'buck' can be an answer for 'male' (male deer). I'm not sure about the 'horny' bit.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for buck that I've seen before include "(Of a horse) jump vertically with legs stiff and back arched" , "Male - resist" , "A slangy American dollar, may be fast" , "Male kangaroo" , "Paper dollar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
