Dawdle, maybe, as ducks do (6)
I believe the answer is:
waddle
'ducks do' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'dawdle maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'dawdle' is an anagram of 'WADDLE'.
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for waddle that I've seen before include "Walk with a clumsy sway" , "Walk like duck, fat man" , "Walk with clumsily swaying motion" , "Move like a duck" , "get moving, if somewhat slowly" .)
