The ignoring of many a confused issue (6)

I believe the answer is:

disuse

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

'the ignoring' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'many a confused issue' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'd' ().
'a confused' indicates an anagram.
'issue' anagrammed gives 'isuse'.
'd'+'isuse'='DISUSE'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disuse that I've seen before include "State of not being employed" , "Fall into this state to be unemplyed? (6)." , "Issued (anag)" , "Neglect; abandonment" , "Neglect; desuetude" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
