Enigmatic, as unclear bits might be (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inscrutable

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

'enigmatic' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'unclear bits might be' is the wordplay.
'might be' indicates an anagram.
'unclear'+'bits'='unclearbits'
'unclearbits' is an anagram of 'INSCRUTABLE'.

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
