prithee

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

'please' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for prithee that I've seen before include "Please (archaic)" , "Please - tip here (anag)" , "Please! (Old English)" , "Old request" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
