'putting out of one's mind' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'because annoying' is the wordplay.
'because' becomes 'for' (I've seen this in another clue).
'annoying' becomes 'getting' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for'+'getting'='FORGETTING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for forgetting that I've seen is " Leaving (something) behind".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
