Crossword Genius

A doctor said go in slow movements (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adagios

'slow movements' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a doctor said go' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'said'+'go'='saidgo'
'saidgo' with letters rearranged gives 'dagios'.
'a'+'dagios'='ADAGIOS'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for adagios that I've seen before include "Movements in slow time" , "Slow and graceful passages of music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
