label

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

'tag' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'line attached to murdered man' is the wordplay.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'attached to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'murdered man' becomes 'abel' (I have seen 'Third Man' mean 'abel' so perhaps 'man' could also mean 'abel'. I am not sure about the 'murdered' bit.).
'l'+'abel'='LABEL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for label that I've seen before include "Means of identifying" , "Identity tag" , "attachment to the Christmas parcel" , "Tag or designation" , "Name-tag" .)
