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

'as nobleman' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'satiric actor cast' is the wordplay.
'cast' indicates an anagram (letters are dispersed or cast around).
'satiric'+'actor'='satiricactor'
'satiricactor' anagrammed gives 'ARISTOCRATIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aristocratic that I've seen before include "Of the nobility" , "Patrician" , "Posh" , "Of noble birth" , "Upper-class" .)
