'rear' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'wine drop suffused duck cut from' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'drop' could be 'ebb' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'ebb' is found in the answer.
'duck' could be 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket) and 'o' is found in the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'nil' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'the' acts as a link.
