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

'rapidly falling hire charge stops bespoke tailor' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'charge stops bespoke tailor' is the wordplay.
'charge' becomes 'rent' (I've seen this in other clues).
'stops' is an insertion indicator.
'bespoke' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'tailor' anagrammed gives 'torial'.
'rent' placed within 'torial' is 'TORRENTIAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?
