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

'nominally' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'shaky ideas' is the wordplay.
'shaky' indicates an anagram.
'ideas' is an anagram of 'SADIE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sadie that I've seen is " Woman".)
