lift

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

'upward movement' is the definition.
'lift' can be an answer for 'movement' (lift is a kind of movement). I am unsure of the 'upward' bit.

'flit around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'flit' anagrammed gives 'LIFT'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lift that I've seen before include "remove" , "Steal (colloq.); elevator" , "Raise - shot in the arm" , "Raise, elevate" , "Raise the vertical conveyor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
