I believe the answer is:

taken

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

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for taken that I've seen before include "Obtained" , "Transported" , "Seized" , "Kidnapped" , "Stolen; occupied" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
