I believe the answer is:

pro

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

'paid for latin?' is the definition.
'pro' can be an answer for 'paid' (I've seen this in other clues). I am not certain of the 'for latin?' bit.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pro that I've seen before include "Top player" , "In brief, he's no amateur" , "Favouring the professional" , "One doesn't play just for the love of it, in short" , "In short, not an amateur" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
