blinkered

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

'narrow views' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives occasionally mean the same thing.

'terribly kind rebel' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates an anagram.
'kind'+'rebel'='kindrebel'
'kindrebel' anagrammed gives 'BLINKERED'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for blinkered that I've seen is " Unsighted by prejudice etc".)
