This might be a double definition.

'clement' is the first definition.
(prime minister Clement Attlee)

Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for attlee that I've seen before include "Former British PM" , "Granny Smiths perhaps" , "British premier" , "Post-war British PM, Clement . . . . . ." , "British PM, 1945-51" .)
