I believe the answer is:

oscar

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

'mark' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'gets a ring from him' is the wordplay.
'gets a ring' becomes 'os' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'from' says to put letters next to each other.
'him' becomes 'Car'.
'os'+'car'='OSCAR'

Can you help me to learn more?
