Pass around drains (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saps

'drains' is the definition.
(sapping is a kind of draining)

'pass around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'pass' anagrammed gives 'SAPS'.

(Other definitions for saps that I've seen before include "Vital juices" , "Pass around foolish people" , "Drains energy from" , "Coshes" , "More than one fool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
