I believe the answer is:

tennessee

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

'state' is the definition.
(I know that Tennessee is a state)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for tennessee that I've seen before include "... Williams, and southeastern US state" , "American state, capital Nashville" , "Memphis's state" , "Seen teens in this US state" , "Volunteer State" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
