Eluded (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

escaped

'eluded' is the definition.
('escape' can be a synonym of 'elude')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for escaped that I've seen before include "gone!" , "Broke free, got away" , "Fled from captivity" , "Got away, broke loose" , "Ran away from confinement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and the Penny Press.
