I believe the answer is:

acceptant

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

'somehow enact pact going with the flow?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'somehow enact pact going with' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'going with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'enact' put after 'pact' is 'pactenact'.
'pactenact' with letters rearranged gives 'ACCEPTANT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for acceptant that I've seen is " Willingly receiving".)
