'an ungracious person' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.

'tearing off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'tearing' anagrammed gives 'INGRATE'.

'to see' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ingrate that I've seen before include "One who never says thanks" , "He doesn't appreciate" , "one showing no appreciation" , "without a word of thanks?" , "Unappreciative type" .)
