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

'tricky? one misses out unable to do this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'stare with latin' is the wordplay.
'stare with' becomes 'trans' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'latin' becomes 'Late Latin' (Late Latin is an example).
'trans'+'late'='TRANSLATE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for translate that I've seen before include "Put into another language" , "Ten altars (anag.)" , "Change into another language" , "Explain" , "Express in a different language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
