I believe the answer is:

gut

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

'paunch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'good in germany' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'in germany' becomes 'ut' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'g'+'ut'='GUT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gut that I've seen before include "Empty" , "Remove innards from" , "Paunch" , "The stuff of a violin string" , "Material for violins" .)
