guttersnipe

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

'street resident' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'finally turning up in street possibly' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
The last letter of 'turning' is 'g'.
'up'+'in'+'street'='upinstreet'
'upinstreet' with letters rearranged gives 'uttersnipe'.
'g'+'uttersnipe'='GUTTERSNIPE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for guttersnipe that I've seen before include "Street urchin" , "Person behaving as one brought up in squalor" , "poor kid" , "Scruffy street child" , "(Neglected) child of the streets" .)
