"Undetermined" ulterior motives are finally shown in a different light (10)
I believe the answer is:
irresolute
'undetermined' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for irresolute that I've seen before include "lacking clear purpose" , "Hesitant, uncertain" , "Indecisive" , "Hesitating" .)
