uncultivated

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

'with no crops cut aunt lived unhappily' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'cut aunt lived unhappily' is the wordplay.
'unhappily' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cut'+'aunt'+'lived'='cutauntlived'
'cutauntlived' is an anagram of 'UNCULTIVATED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for uncultivated that I've seen is " Not highly educated".)
