He met some other form of subject (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theme

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

'form of subject' is the definition.
'theme' can be an answer for 'subject' (theme can mean a topic or subject). I am not certain of the 'form of' bit.

'he met some other' is the wordplay.
'some other' is an anagram indicator.
'he'+'met'='hemet'
'hemet' anagrammed gives 'THEME'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for theme that I've seen before include "Motif, topic" , "Thread, melody" , "Subject (on which person writes, speaks)" , "Motif or melody" , "(Writer's) topic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
