Avoid, bypass (5)
I believe the answer is:
skirt
This clue is a double definition.
'avoid' is the first definition.
(skirt can mean to go around or avoid)
'bypass' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for skirt that I've seen before include "Go round the edges of" , "Go round edge" , "Go round; garment" , "Go along the edge of" , "Leave the pack" .)
