Dodge or circumvent (8)
I believe the answer is:
sidestep
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'dodge' is the first definition.
(I know that dodge can be written as sidestep)
'circumvent' is the second definition.
(I know that circumvent can be written as sidestep)
(Other definitions for sidestep that I've seen before include "Shift to right or left" , "Find a way round" , "Dodge - circumvent" , "To avoid" , "Dodge (an issue?)" .)
