I believe the answer is:

license

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

'permit' is the definition.
(I know that permit can be written as license)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for license that I've seen before include "Authorise (something)" , "Allow" , "Give permission" , "Entitle" , "Grant official permit to sell or trade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
