'easily hurt' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'unfortunately she is very inept' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates anagramming the letters (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'she'+'is'+'very'+'inept'='sheisveryinept'
'sheisveryinept' is an anagram of 'HYPERSENSITIVE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hypersensitive that I've seen is " Abnormally quick to react".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
