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

'put it mildly' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'ridiculously hot man dense' is the wordplay.
'ridiculously' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'hot'+'man'+'dense'='hotmandense'
'hotmandense' is an anagram of 'AND THEN SOME'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for and then some that I've seen is " With plenty more in addition".)
