This clue might be a double definition.

'wat' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tyler that I've seen before include "Revolting man" , "Revolutionary" , "Wat, leader of the Peasants' Revolt" , "He had responsibility for rising" .)
