Way around

Answer:

BYPASS

Hint:

Consider an alternate route that avoids the main path or obstacle.

Explanation:

"Way around" hints at a route that avoids something, which directly points to "bypass." The word itself combines "by" (meaning near or around) and "pass" (meaning to go), reinforcing the idea of going around an obstacle. It’s a straightforward clue where the answer matches the definition closely.
