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

'masterminds seeing latin lit translated' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'seeing latin lit translated' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates an anagram.
'seeing'+'latin'+'lit'='seeinglatinlit'
'seeinglatinlit' with letters rearranged gives 'INTELLIGENTSIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intelligentsia that I've seen before include "Bright bunch" , "Eggheads" , "Highly educated people" , "brains!" , "Highly-educated people" .)
