Pass through negotiator (2-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

go-between

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

'negotiator' is the definition.
(I know that go-between is a type of negotiator)

'pass through' is the wordplay.
'pass' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'through' becomes 'between' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'go'+'between'='GO-BETWEEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for go-between that I've seen before include "One who acts as messenger or negotiator" , "Runner" , "Intermediary" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
