This clue might be a double definition.

'might stag' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'go on one knee?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

Can you help me to learn more?
