Tick by (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elapse

'tick by' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for elapse that I've seen before include "Passing" , "'Pass by, as time (6)'" , "Please (anag) -- pass away" , "Slip away" , "Of time, pass by - please" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and the LA Times.
