'something stuck' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'with after a point' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'after' becomes 'past' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a point' becomes 'e' (compass point).
'past' next to 'e' is 'PASTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paste that I've seen before include "One way to fix" , "sound beating" , "Hit" , "Stick - imitation gems" , "Adhesive, doughy, or jewel-like substance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
