I believe the answer is:

motto

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

'saying' is the definition.
(I know that motto is a type of saying)

'bottoms up endlessly' is the wordplay.
'MOTTO' is hidden backwards within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for motto that I've seen before include "Christmas cracker text" , "(Family) maxim" , "Words often found on coat of arms" , "Favourite saying of a group" , "Guiding adage" .)
