Avoided, escaped (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eluded

I believe this is a double definition.

'avoided' is the first definition.
(eluding is a kind of avoiding)

'escaped' is the second definition.
('elude' can be a synonym of 'escape')

(Other definitions for eluded that I've seen before include "Evaded" , "Escaped skilfully from, avoided" , "'Dodged, escaped (6)'" , "Escaped by stratagem" , "Dodged, avoided" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
