Crossword Genius

Please move and pass (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elapse

'pass' is the definition.
(I know that pass can be written as elapse)

'please move' is the wordplay.
'move' indicates an anagram.
'please' anagrammed gives 'ELAPSE'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for elapse that I've seen before include "(Of time) go by" , "Go past" , "pass in silence" , "'Pass by, as time (6)'" , "Go by - pass away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
