Pass by and grab more than one's fair share? (8)
I believe the answer is:
overtake
'pass' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'and grab more than one's fair share?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'grab' could be 'take' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'take' is found within the answer.
'more' could be 'over' (I've seen this before) and 'over' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overtake that I've seen before include "Pass (a vehicle)" , "Pass a car ahead" , "Go past another person in a race" , "possibly put behind one" , "Leave behind" .)
