'excellent' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'name for woman? right' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'name' could be 'stella' and 'stella' is found within the answer.
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stellar that I've seen before include "Exceptionally good" , "boss!" , "like a star" , "of celebrities" , "Top-notch" .)
