Boring, girl contemplating (9)
I believe the answer is:
unamusing
'boring' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'girl contemplating' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'Una' (girl's name).
'contemplating' becomes 'musing' ('muse' can be a synonym of 'contemplate').
'una'+'musing'='UNAMUSING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for unamusing that I've seen is " it isn't funny".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
