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

'huge effort' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'i in turn no longer having influence' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'i' could be 'one' (Roman numeral for one) and 'one' is present in the answer.
'turn' could be 'go' (a person's move in a board game) and 'go' is located in the answer.
'no' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'influence' could be 'sway' (swaying is a kind of influencing) and 'sway' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'make' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
