I believe the answer is:

abut

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

'neighbour' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for abut that I've seen before include "Neighbour" , "Impinge" , "Of building or land, end or lean against" , "Adjoin -- 19 (rev)" , "Be next to -- share a boundary" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
