Moving you past PM (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

autopsy

'pm' is the definition.
(PM can mean postmortem)

'moving you past' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates anagramming the letters (letters are moved around).
'you'+'past'='youpast'
'youpast' with letters rearranged gives 'AUTOPSY'.

(Other definitions for autopsy that I've seen before include "An official post-mortem examination" , "Examination to determine cause of death" , "Pays out (anag.)" , "Far from quick examination" , "Examining body" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
