unversed

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

'not skilled' is the definition.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for unversed that I've seen before include "Green" , "Lacking skill" , "Not experienced or skilled" , "Not in rhyme" .)

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