It's even more lacklustre: that's what's wrong (6)
I believe the answer is:
matter
'wrong' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for matter that I've seen before include "Physicist giving name to frequency shift" , "That which occupies space in the visible world" , "Substance or material - not spirit" , "Affair; be important" , "Stuff - mean something" .)
