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

'deliberately miss' is the definition.
'ignore' can be an answer for 'miss' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'deliberately' bit.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ignore that I've seen before include "set aside" , "Refuse to notice or acknowledge" , "Dismiss" , "Intentionally disregard" , "Region (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
