I believe the answer is:

stack

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

'make a pile' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stack that I've seen before include "functioned successfully in Scotland" , "Place in ordered pile" , "Piled heap" , "Pile of hay" , "Pile - chimney" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
