I believe the answer is:

strut

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

This could be a double definition.

'proud walk' is the first definition.
'strut' can be an answer for 'walk' (strut is a kind of walk). I am not sure about the 'proud' bit.

'support?' is the second definition.
(strut is a kind of support)

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strut that I've seen before include "swaggering gait" , "Rigid support" , "Walk proudly like peacock" , "Support - pompous walk" , "Supporting bar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
