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

'interrogation' is the definition.
(I know that interrogation can be written as question)

(Other definitions for question that I've seen before include "Interrogative sentence" , "Poser" , "Pump" , "See 17" , "Query" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
