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

'roar at missing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'student in the hold?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'student' could be 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers) and 'l' is found in the answer.
'hold?' could be 'be' (holding is a kind of being) and 'be' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ow' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for below that I've seen before include "on earth" , "Underneath" , "Beneath" , "in one's cabin" , "Subordinate to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
