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

'swinging' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'writer couple hosting latin american' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'writer' could be 'pen' (something which writes) and 'pen' is found in the answer.
'latin' could be 'l' and 'l' is present in the answer.
'couple' could be 'duo' (two people) and 'duo' is located in the leftover letters.
'american' could be 'us' (abbreviation for United States) and 'us' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
