Dodge, duck (5)

I believe the answer is:

evade

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'dodge' is the first definition.

'duck' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for evade that I've seen before include "Shun, escape" , "Dodge, duck" , "Get round" , "Circumvent, dodge" , "Dodge by cleverness or trickery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
