Give the slip

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evade

'give the slip' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for evade that I've seen before include "Dodge, steer clear of" , "Dodge by cleverness or trickery" , "Escape paying (tax)" , "Get round" , "Dodge by cleverness (5)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
