I believe the answer is:

register

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

'enter' is the definition.
(I know that register is a type of enter)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for register that I've seen before include "a manner of speaking" , "part of our paper" , "To express" , "(Enrol in) list" , "Log" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
