craftiness

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

'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'cunning insects? far' is the wordplay.
'cunning' indicates an anagram.
'insects'+'far'='insectsfar'
'insectsfar' with letters rearranged gives 'CRAFTINESS'.

'from' acts as a link.
