This might be a double definition.

'walks unsteadily' is the first definition.
'staggers' can be an answer for 'walks' (staggering is a kind of walking). I'm not certain of the 'unsteadily' bit.

'causes amazement' is the second definition.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for staggers that I've seen before include "astounds" , "Disease affecting farmyard animals" , "Reels about like gagsters" , "is astonishing" , "Reels from side to side" .)
