Dodge woman with keys (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evade

'dodge' is the definition.
('evade' can be a synonym of 'dodge')

'woman with keys' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'eva' (**).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'keys' becomes 'de' (I've seen this in other clues).
'eva'+'de'='EVADE'

(Other definitions for evade that I've seen before include "Dodge, elude" , "Escape, avoid" , "Keep away from" , "Dodge (taxes)" , "avoid answering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
