Moving quietly and carefully (8)

I believe the answer is:

stealthy

(Other definitions for stealthy that I've seen before include "Covert - clandestine" , "Secretive, silent" , "'Sneaky, clandestine (8)'" , "Acting in furtive or covert manner" , "Unobtrusive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
