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

'polo's' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for marco that I've seen before include "- - Polo, traveller" , "gondolier" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
