tipster

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

'pundit' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'knock rest off' is the wordplay.
'knock' becomes 'tip' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'off' indicates an anagram.
'rest' is an anagram of 'ster'.
'tip'+'ster'='TIPSTER'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tipster that I've seen before include "One who sells betting advice" , "Person offering advice" , "Person who points out likely race winners" , "Seller of information on racecourse etc" , "he recommends risky investments" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
