omniscient

'in' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'new form since i'm not comprehensively educated?' is the wordplay.
'new form' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'new form of' mean this).
'not' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'comprehensively educated?' becomes 'nt' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'since'+'im'+'o'='sinceimo'
'sinceimo' is an anagram of 'omniscie'.
'omniscie'+'nt'='OMNISCIENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for omniscient that I've seen before include "Knowing everything" , "All-knowing" .)
