I will repeat a description of the uneducated man (10)

I believe the answer is:

illiterate

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

'a description of the uneducated man' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'i will repeat' is the wordplay.
'i will' becomes 'ill' (I've seen this before).
'repeat' becomes 'iterate' (synonyms).
'ill'+'iterate'='ILLITERATE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for illiterate that I've seen before include "Wordless" , "Unable to read and write" , "uneducated person" , "Analphabetic" , "dunce" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
