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

'hasten to achieve a' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'fashionable appearance?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'fashionable' could be 'snappy' (similar in meaning) and 'snappy' is found within the answer.
'appearance?' could be 'look' (look is a kind of appearance) and 'look' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
