Circumvent, dodge (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evade

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'circumvent' is the first definition.
(I know that circumvent can be written as evade)

'dodge' is the second definition.
(I know that dodge is a kind of dodge)

(Other definitions for evade that I've seen before include "Dodge, keep clear of" , "Get round" , "Escape paying (tax)" , "Keep away from" , "To get away from" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
