I believe the answer is:

lithe

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

'easily able to move' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'of clitheroe' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LITHE' is hidden within 'clitheroe'.

'out' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lithe that I've seen before include "Lissom, supple" , "Able to move and bend gracefully" , "Lissome, supple" , "grace" , "Not inflexible" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
