I believe the answer is:

curious

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

'an odd' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'piece of virtu to us' is the wordplay.
'piece of virtu' becomes 'curio' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'curio'+'us'='CURIOUS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for curious that I've seen before include "Odd, peculiar" , "Strange, unusual" , "Eager to learn, strange" , "Questioning" , "Odd or eager to know" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
