Flitted like an elf, up to a point (4)
I believe the answer is:
flew
'flitted' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'an elf up to a point' is the wordplay.
'up' says the letters should be written in reverse (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'to a point' becomes 'w' (W is an example).
'elf' in reverse letter order is 'fle'.
'fle'+'w'='FLEW'
'like' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flew that I've seen before include "lip" , "Rushed (by air?)" , "Took off" , "Travelled by air" , "Went quickly" .)
