It has little voice to study organised knowledge (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

conscience

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

'it has little voice' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'study organised knowledge' is the wordplay.
'study' becomes 'con' (con can informally mean to study).
'organised knowledge' becomes 'science' (I've seen this before).
'con'+'science'='CONSCIENCE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for conscience that I've seen before include "Inner voice" , "having moral standards" , "morals" , "Sense of morality" , "Hamlet blamed for cowardice" .)
