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

'unthinkable to evict monarch with appalling taste?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'unthinkable to evict monarch' is the wordplay.
'unthinkable' becomes 'incredible' (associated in meaning).
'to evict' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'monarch' becomes 'CR' (short for Carolus Rex ie King Charles).
'incredible' with 'cr' taken away is 'INEDIBLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inedible that I've seen before include "unfit for course!" , "Awful to taste" , "Unpalatable" , "Unfit for consumption" , "needing to be taken off table?" .)
