I believe the answer is:

imply

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

'suggest' is the definition.
(implying is a kind of suggesting)

'one simply can't get started?' is the wordplay.
'IMPLY' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for imply that I've seen before include "Express by indirect means" , "Involve - intimate" , "Infer" , "Indicate indirectly" , "Insinuate or suggest" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
