Peace-keeper’s guns are damaged and neglected (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unsung

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

'neglected' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'peace-keeper's guns are damaged' is the wordplay.
'peace-keeper' becomes 'un'.
'are damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'guns' anagrammed gives 'sung'.
'un'+'sung'='UNSUNG'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unsung that I've seen before include "Overlooked" , "Lacking due recognition" , "Without 1D [RECOGNITION]" , "Not famous or acclaimed, hero perhaps" , "Not given due recognition" .)
