ivan

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

'sees another' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'boy about five' is the wordplay.
'boy' becomes 'ian' (man's name).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'five' becomes 'V' (Roman numeral).
'ian' placed around 'v' is 'IVAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?
