I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pass round' is the definition.
'orbit' can be an answer for 'round' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'pass' bit.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orbit that I've seen before include "Circumgyration" , "Area of influence - eye socket" , "Circuit of a planet" , "Path of a planet or satellite" , "Stellar path" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
