unassuming

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

'hand and that's not at all pretentious' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'us suing man out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'us'+'suing'+'man'='ussuingman'
'ussuingman' with letters rearranged gives 'UNASSUMING'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unassuming that I've seen before include "Not pretentious" , "Modest" , "disrobing?" , "not taking things for granted" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
