slumber party

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

'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'presumably loose clothing right' is the wordplay.
'loose' indicates an anagram (letters are loosened from their original positions).
'clothing' is an insertion indicator (some letters cover up or clothe others).
'right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'presumably' with letters rearranged gives 'slumberpay'.
'slumberpay' enclosing 'rt' is 'SLUMBER PARTY'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
