Far from being experienced, yet apparently perfect (6)
I believe the answer is:
novice
'far' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for novice that I've seen before include "New starter" , "Inexperienced learner" , "Person in a religious order who has not yet taken final vows" , "Beginner as in religious order" , "Beginner, perhaps at religious orders" .)
