Waylay; solicit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accost

I believe this is a double definition.

'waylay' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'solicit' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for accost that I've seen before include "Approach or confront boldly" , "Approach boldly or aggressively" , "Challenge" , "Approach boldly and speak to" , "Approach, stop and speak to" .)

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