Crossword Genius

I'm driven through illuminated border (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limit

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

'i'm driven through illuminated' is the wordplay.
'driven through' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'illuminated' becomes 'lit' (synonyms).
'im' put within 'lit' is 'LIMIT'.

(Other definitions for limit that I've seen before include "qualify?" , "Boundary or maximum" , "end" , "Restrict - boundary" , "Extreme point" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
