unworthiness

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

''there's no merit in it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'winner shouts out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'winner'+'shouts'='winnershouts'
'winnershouts' with letters rearranged gives 'UNWORTHINESS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
