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

'present from nowhere' is the definition.
'here' can be an answer for 'present' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'from nowhere' bit.

'present from nowhere' is the wordplay.
'present' becomes 'now' (now is a kind of present).
'from' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'nowhere' with 'now' taken out is 'HERE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for here that I've seen before include "Hither" , "At this stage" , "To hand" , "The present location" , ""___ be dragons" (old map inscription?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
