Skip over, as a syllable (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elide

'skip over as a syllable' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for elide that I've seen before include "Omit (a sound or syllable) when speaking" , "Omit (syllables)" , "Omit vowel or syllable" , "Join together, merge" , "Omit (syllable) in speech" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and the King Feature Syndicate.
