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

'these words' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'make gent vamoose possibly with seconds to go' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'make' could be 'move' (moving is a kind of making) and 'move' is located in the answer.
'go' could be 'get' (synonyms) and 'get' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'could' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
