'one who scribbles on' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'way' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'way' could be 'pavement' (pavement is a kind of way) and 'pavement' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'artist' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for pavement artist that I've seen is " Painter".)
