Dad's wise way (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passage

'way' is the definition.
(I know that passage is a type of way)

'dad's wise' is the wordplay.
'dad's' becomes 'pa's' (both can mean one's father).
'wise' becomes 'sage' (similar in meaning).
'pas'+'sage'='PASSAGE'

(Other definitions for passage that I've seen before include "Section of text; journey" , "course" , "Book extract; transit" , "Excerpt" , "street" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
