Please pass another way (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elapse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pass another way' is the definition.
'elapse' can be an answer for 'pass' (synonyms). I am unsure of the 'another way' bit.

'please' is the wordplay.
'please' can be anagrammed to 'ELAPSE'.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elapse that I've seen before include "Go by - pass away" , "(Of time) go by" , "pass in silence" , "Pass away - asleep (anag)" , "run by" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
