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

'like' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'every other court shoe approximately' is the wordplay.
'every other' indicates alternate letters (every other letter).
'shoe approximately' becomes 'so' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The alternate letters of 'court' are 'or'.
'or'+'so'='ORSO'
