I believe the answer is:

afar

'way off' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'hunter's trip ignoring outsiders some' is the wordplay.
'hunter's trip' becomes 'af' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ignoring outsiders' indicates the central letters.
'some' becomes 'part' (only part of something).
The centre of 'part' is 'ar'.
'af'+'ar'='AFAR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afar that I've seen before include "Unusually distant" , "Many a mile" , "Not in this neighbourhood" , "At a distance (poetic)" , "beyond the horizon" .)
