Crossword Genius

Please move and go by (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elapse

'go by' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'please move' is the wordplay.
'move' is an anagram indicator.
'please' with letters rearranged gives 'ELAPSE'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for elapse that I've seen before include "Glide by" , "'Pass by, as time (6)'" , "(Of time) go by" , "Passing" , "Slip away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
