Passed on (7)
I believe the answer is:
relayed
'passed on' is the definition.
(to relay something is to spread or pass it on)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for relayed that I've seen before include "Broadcast; passed on" , "Passed along" , "Received and passed on" , "Layered (anag.)" , "Passed on from hand to hand, station to station etc" .)
