Renowned — for being incompetent? (7)
I believe the answer is:
notable
'renowned' is the definition.
(I know that renowned can be written as notable)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for notable that I've seen before include "Widely known and esteemed" , "Star" , "Famous or memorable" , "VIP" , "Eminent" .)
