Bypassed, avoided (7)
I believe the answer is:
skirted
This clue is a double definition.
'bypassed' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'avoided' is the second definition.
(skirting is a kind of avoiding)
(Other definitions for skirted that I've seen before include "Flanked" , "Went round" , "in a mini?" .)
