'it will suddenly become clear' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'can tie clip lock up?' is the wordplay.
'up?' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get chucked up).
'can'+'tie'+'clip'+'lock'='cantiecliplock'
'cantiecliplock' is an anagram of 'CLICK INTO PLACE'.
