Overtook (6)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Independent, The Mirror and the Sydney Morning Herald.
