Steered clear of; avoided (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evaded

I believe this is a double definition.

'steered clear of' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'avoided' is the second definition.
(evading is a kind of avoiding)

(Other definitions for evaded that I've seen before include "'Dodged, eluded (6)'" , "Avoided, dodged" , "Escaped or avoided" , "Didn't meet" , "avoided answering" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
