Acted nervously, in a way (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paced

(Other definitions for paced that I've seen before include "Measured (a distance) in steps" , "Took steps" , "Made anxious moves" , "Walked about in a preoccupied or frustrated way" , "set the tempo" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
