Pass on what could make an impression (3)
I believe the answer is:
die
'pass on' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for die that I've seen before include "Fail" , "Expire" , "Cease to live" , "Cease to exist" , "rolling over - to do this?" .)
