Appropriate work left in course of move (8)
I believe the answer is:
shoplift
'appropriate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'work left in course of move' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'shop' (shop is a kind of work).
'left in course of move' becomes 'lift' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'shop'+'lift'='SHOPLIFT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shoplift that I've seen before include "Abstract" , "Swipe" , "Appropriate" , "Steal from retail outlet" , "Knock off" .)
