I believe the answer is:

unexpected

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

'not foreseen' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'removing senior from indecent exposure' is the wordplay.
'removing' is an anagram indicator (moving the letters again).
'from' is a deletion indicator.
'indecent'+'exposure'='indecentexposure'
'indecentexposure' with 'senior' removed is 'dcentexpue'.
'dcentexpue' with letters rearranged gives 'UNEXPECTED'.

'that was definitely' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
