The first and the second are unnecessarily long. I think the third one is fine this way: I want you to know the clear meaning of this word.

I want you to know the clear meaning of this word changes the meaning of the sentence. It makes clear refer to meaning rather than know. Of the three original sentences, I would be more likely to write #3, but say #1.
