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

'somebody craven' is the definition.
'chicken' can be an answer for 'craven' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'somebody' bit.

'stylish and understanding' is the wordplay.
'stylish' becomes 'chic' (similar in meaning).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'understanding' becomes 'ken' (ken can mean someone's range of knowledge).
'chic'+'ken'='CHICKEN'
