Takes no notice of outlying regions (7)
I believe the answer is:
ignores
'takes no notice' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'outlying regions' is the wordplay.
'outlying' is an anagram indicator.
'regions' with letters rearranged gives 'IGNORES'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ignores that I've seen before include "Cold shoulders" , "Snubs" , "Pays no attention to" , "Passes over" , "Gives the cold shoulder" .)
