Hare isn't missing any toes, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hasten

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hare' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'isn't missing any toes perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'isn't missing' could be 'has' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'has' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ten' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hasten that I've seen before include "Act or move fast" , "Step up" , "Hurry up in old-fashioned way" , "Move quickly" , "race? - with 26a" .)
