I believe the answer is:

article

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

'maybe a' is the definition.
('a' is the indefinite article in English)

'recital could be rearranged' is the wordplay.
'recital' can be anagrammed to 'ARTICLE'.
But, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for article that I've seen before include "Newspaper feature or a separate thing" , "Object - piece of writing" , "Commodity" , "Recital (anag.)" , "Perhaps an" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
