Overtook (6)
I believe the answer is:
passed
'overtook' is the definition.
('pass' can be a synonym of 'overtake')
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for passed that I've seen before include "overtaking?" , "Spades (anag)" , "'Brought into effect, laws perhaps (6)'" , "Chose not to bid" , "Handed on; went by" .)
