Passed over just the same (3)
I believe the answer is:
did
'passed' is the definition.
(doing is a kind of passing)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for did that I've seen before include "Swindled" , "Performed an action" , "Achieved; cheated" , "was satisfactory" , "Accomplished" .)
