'inane is possibly the answer' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'inane is possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'inane'+'is'='inaneis'
'inaneis' anagrammed gives 'ASININE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asinine that I've seen before include "Silly like a donkey" , "Is Annie? (Anag)" , "Absurd" , "Senseless" , "Really silly, ridiculous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
