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

This might be a double definition.

'a to-do?' is the first definition.

(Other definitions for ado that I've seen before include "flapping" , "Pother" , "stew is provided" , "'Much ... About Nothing, Shakespeare play (3)'" , "carry-on" .)
