To go by hand (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pass

I believe this is a double definition.

'to go by' is the first definition.
('pass' can be a synonym of 'go by')

'hand' is the second definition.
('pass' can be a synonym of 'hand')

(Other definitions for pass that I've seen before include "Search me" , "Spend (19, say) -- don't know" , "exam grade ..." , "Go beyond; fail to answer" , "Cross-mountain route; permit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
