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

'one works on paper' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'times with hesitation' is the wordplay.
'times' becomes 'eras' (era is a kind of time).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hesitation' becomes 'er' (sound used when hesitating).
'eras'+'er'='ERASER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eraser that I've seen before include "Implement to rub out" , "It could remove" , "What a poor artist needs" , "One who removed" , "What may remove" .)
