I believe the answer is:

heel

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

This might be a double definition.

'possibly cuban' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'cad?' is the second definition.
('heel' can be a synonym of 'cad')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heel that I've seen before include "Shoe part - come here, Fido!" , "Despicable type" , "scumbag" , "that may be Cuban" , "despicable person" .)
