Possibly ignore part of the country (6)
I believe the answer is:
region
'the country' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'possibly ignore' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ignore' is an anagram of 'REGION'.
'part of' is the link.
(Other definitions for region that I've seen before include "Area, neighbourhood" , "Area, zone" , "Tract or area" , "Part of a country" , "Area, domain" .)
