Passes electronic errors (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elapses

'passes' is the definition.
('elapse' can be a synonym of 'pass')

'electronic errors' is the wordplay.
'electronic' becomes 'e' (as in e-mail or e-books).
'errors' becomes 'lapses' (lapse is a kind of error).
'e'+'lapses'='ELAPSES'

(Other definitions for elapses that I've seen before include "Slips away" , "Passes (in time)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
