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

'villain' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'wicked name that is' is the wordplay.
'wicked' indicates an anagram.
'that is' becomes 'i.e.' (synonyms).
'name' anagrammed gives 'mean'.
'mean'+'ie'='MEANIE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meanie that I've seen before include "Stingy person (informal)" , "nasty type" , "nasty person" , "Ungenerous person" , "Selfish type (informal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
