I believe the answer is:

agma

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

'part' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agma that I've seen before include "final sound of shouting or swearing?" , "conclusion of something to do with pronunciation" , "sounds nasal" , "Lettered symbol" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
