I believe the answer is:

lucid

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

'clear' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'unfinished cryptic clue i'd' is the wordplay.
'unfinished cryptic clue' becomes 'luc' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'luc'+'id'='LUCID'

'make' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lucid that I've seen before include "Transparently clear" , "Coherent" , "Clear-cut" , "Crystal clear" , "Clear, easy to understand" .)
