I believe the answer is:

notable

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

'extraordinary' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'finding it beyond one' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'noble' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'which is' acts as a link.
