'nothing' is the definition.
(eg nil is zero in football)

'reformed in clink' is the wordplay.
'reformed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'clink' becomes 'l' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an anagram of 'ni'.
'ni'+'l'='NIL'

'gets' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nil that I've seen before include "Nothing, no value" , "Nix, nada, nothing" , "Nothing found in senility" , "Latin zero" , "Don't despair - . . . desperandum" .)
