I believe the answer is:

profane

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

'unholy' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'right of breaking window' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'breaking' is an insertion indicator.
'window' becomes 'pane' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'r'+'of'='rof'
'rof' placed into 'pane' is 'PROFANE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for profane that I've seen before include "Desecrate" , "Impious" , "Secular, not religious" , "Contemptuous of sacred things" , "Unholy" .)
