'not caring' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'about each pitta' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'each'+'pitta'='eachpitta'
'eachpitta' anagrammed gives 'APATHETIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apathetic that I've seen before include "Impassive" , "showing no enthusiasm" , "I hate pact, being disintersted" , "past caring?" , "Uncaring, uninterested" .)
