reluctant

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

'slow to act' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'cattle run off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cattle'+'run'='cattlerun'
'cattlerun' anagrammed gives 'RELUCTANT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reluctant that I've seen before include "Kenneth Grahame's dragon was" , "Indisposed" , "not being willing" , "Unwilling, disinclined" , "Not wishing to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
