lie down

'do this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'now idle resolved' is the wordplay.
'resolved' indicates an anagram.
'now'+'idle'='nowidle'
'nowidle' anagrammed gives 'LIE-DOWN'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lie down that I've seen before include "Short rest on bed/sofa" , "Become 14" , "Put your feet up" , "Take to one's bed" , "Enid Low (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
