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

'blur' is the definition.
(I know that blur can be written as smudge)

(Other definitions for smudge that I've seen before include "Blur, blot" , "A smeared mark or stain" , "Make blurred" , "blurred impression" , "Smeared blot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
