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

'tenant swallowed ecstasy come again?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'tenant swallowed ecstasy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'ecstasy' could be 'e' (informal term for the drug) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'tenant' could be 'renter' (synonyms) and 'renter' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for re-enter that I've seen before include "Go back in" , "compete again" , "Come or go in again" , "Come back inside" .)
