Runs through a tunnel breaking out (not yet discovered) (8)
I believe the answer is:
unlearnt
'not yet discovered' is the definition.
(not learned yet)
'runs through a tunnel breaking out' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'through' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters go through the word).
'breaking out' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'tunnel'='atunnel'
'atunnel' with letters rearranged gives 'unleant'.
'r' inserted inside 'unleant' is 'UNLEARNT'.
(Another definition for unlearnt that I've seen is " Disregarded".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
