Benign or amusing, some uneducated fool (9)
I believe the answer is:
ignoramus
'uneducated fool' is the definition.
'ignoramus' can be an answer for 'fool' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'uneducated' bit.
'benign or amusing some' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word.
'IGNORAMUS' is hidden in the letters of 'benign or amusing'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ignoramus that I've seen before include "one in a state of bliss?" , "At the present time" , "I wouldn't know" , "Uninformed sort" , "A know-nothing" .)
