Takes no notice of new regions (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ignores

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

'takes no notice' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'new regions' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'regions' anagrammed gives 'IGNORES'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ignores that I've seen before include "cuts" , "Snubs" , "Passes over" , "Cold shoulders" , "Shrugs off" .)
