Got the better of (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overcame

'got the better of' is the definition.
('overcome' can be a synonym of 'get the better of')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for overcame that I've seen before include "Beat (someone)" , "Conquered" , "Got the better of" , "Defeated or got over" , "prevailed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Penny Press.
