tone-deaf

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

'to be unappreciative of music' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'one fated sadly' is the wordplay.
'sadly' is an anagram indicator.
'one'+'fated'='onefated'
'onefated' anagrammed gives 'TONE-DEAF'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tone-deaf that I've seen before include "Musically challenged" , "Unable to distinguish differences in musical pitch" , "Unable to distinguish variations in musical pitch" , "Unable to discriminate between musical notes" , "Unable to perceive musical pitch accurately" .)
