Passed from one's grasp entirely (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spent

'passed' is the definition.
('spend' can be a synonym of 'pass')

'from one's grasp entirely' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SPENT' can be found hidden inside 'ones grasp entirely'.

(Other definitions for spent that I've seen before include "Worn Out, exhausted" , "Exhausted, having paid money?" , "Drained of energy - or paid out" , "Worn out - after shopping?" , "(Of resources) exhausted" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
