I believe the answer is:

nobel laureate

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

'like euler a notable original' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'euler a notable original' is the wordplay.
'original' is an anagram indicator.
'euler'+'a'+'notable'='euleranotable'
'euleranotable' is an anagram of 'NOBEL LAUREATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nobel laureate that I've seen before include "winner of international repute?" , "International prize-winner" , "Highly honoured person" .)
