ignoramus

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

'uneducated guy' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'somehow amusing or' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'amusing'+'or'='amusingor'
'amusingor' with letters rearranged gives 'IGNORAMUS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ignoramus that I've seen before include "One lacking knowledge" , "Dunce" , "Fool" , "unwitting person" , "I wouldn't know" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
