Going easily with the fresh coatings (8)
I believe the answer is:
coasting
'going easily' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are present participle verbs, I don't see how one could define the other.
'fresh coatings' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates an anagram (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'coatings' is an anagram of 'COASTING'.
'with the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coasting that I've seen before include "Agnostic (anag) -- moving easily" , "Just rolling along with agnostic" , "Not trying all that hard" .)
