This clue could be a double definition.

'try' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to bodily activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'better pleasure excursion' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'to make' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for treat that I've seen before include "Joy" , "Behave towards" , "Entertain at one's own expense" , "Enjoyable party" , "Pay for someone's food or entertainment" .)
