Transitory — death (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passing

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'transitory' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'death' is the second definition.
(passing is a kind of death)

(Other definitions for passing that I've seen before include "Ephemeral" , "Short-lived - death" , "Overtaking" , "Casual - death" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
