Pass another, please (6)

I believe the answer is:

elapse

'pass' is the definition.
(I know that pass can be written as elapse)

'another please' is the wordplay.
'another' is an anagram indicator.
'please' is an anagram of 'ELAPSE'.

(Other definitions for elapse that I've seen before include "(Of time) go by" , "Pass away - asleep (anag)" , "'Pass by, as time (6)'" , "Tick by" , "run by" .)

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