Has infinite wisdom but makes nothing clear (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oracle

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

'has infinite wisdom' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'makes nothing clear' is the wordplay.
'makes' is an anagram indicator.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'o'+'clear'='oclear'
'oclear' with letters rearranged gives 'ORACLE'.

'but' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oracle that I've seen before include "Sybil" , "Medium of divine revelation" , "One successfully worked" , "Expert" , "Medium for prophecy" .)
