Eavesdrops, somehow, when disregarded (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passed over

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

'eavesdrops somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'eavesdrops' anagrammed gives 'PASSED OVER'.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for passed over that I've seen before include "Disregarded" , "ignored" , "not taken into consideration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
