Pass on name taken from dancing wenches (6)
I believe the answer is:
eschew
'pass on' is the definition.
(to pass on something is to reject or eschew it)
'name taken from dancing wenches' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'name' could be 'hew' and 'hew' is present in the answer.
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
(Other definitions for eschew that I've seen before include "Avoid or abstain from, food or people" , "Abstain from (an activity)" , "'Avoid, shun (6)'" , "'Avoid, keep away from (6)'" , "Deliberately avoid" .)
