I believe the answer is:

tribesman

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

'clan member' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'take one groom's assistant with very high temperature' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'take' could be 'be' (being is a kind of taking) and 'be' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is found in the answer.
'temperature' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to see' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tribesman that I've seen before include "Native" , "For example, brave" , "Society member" , "clan member" , "member of primitive group" .)
