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

'knowledge' is the definition.
(short for information)

'from certain foreign parts' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'INFO' can be found hidden inside 'certain foreign parts'.

'received' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
