Turned out stupidly illiterate (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

untutored

'illiterate' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'turned out stupidly' is the wordplay.
'stupidly' indicates an anagram.
'turned'+'out'='turnedout'
'turnedout' with letters rearranged gives 'UNTUTORED'.

(Other definitions for untutored that I've seen before include "without formal education" , "Not taught" , "lacking refinement" , "lacking education" , "Being ignorant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
