loft

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

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for loft that I've seen before include "Storage space under a roof" , "Throw up; pigeon house" , "Uppermost room" , "Hit (a ball) high" , "Propel through the air" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
