I believe the answer is:

tamper

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

'meddle' is the definition.
(I know that meddle can be written as tamper)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tamper that I've seen before include "Interfere (with something) without permission" , "Interfere or alter without authority" , "Destructively interfere (with)" , "Machine for compacting earth; interfere (with)" , "Interfere (with a thing)" .)
