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

'disrupted the rodeo with a kiss' is the wordplay.
'disrupted' indicates an anagram.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a kiss' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
'the'+'rodeo'='therodeo'
'therodeo' anagrammed gives 'heterodo'.
'heterodo'+'x'='HETERODOX'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for heterodox that I've seen is " Dissident".)
