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

'put in' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'type of small english ram' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'small' could be 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size) and 's' is found within the answer.
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'ram' could be 'tup' (both can mean a male sheep) and 'tup' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
