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

'id' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'neo had it backwards concealing' is the wordplay.
'concealing' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'backwards' says the letters should be written backwards.
'ohadi' is hidden within 'neo had it'.
'ohadi' in reverse letter order is 'IDAHO'.

Can you help me to learn more?
