Ticks by (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elapses

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for elapses that I've seen before include "Slips away" , "Passes (in time)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and the L.A. Times Daily.
