Impatiently moved revised clue on probing first draft initially (8)
I believe the answer is:
flounced
'impatiently moved' 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 an association between them that I can't see?
'revised clue on probing first draft initially' is the wordplay.
'revised' is an anagram indicator.
'probing' indicates putting letters inside (probe can mean to make a hole in).
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'first draft' is 'fd'.
'clue'+'on'='clueon'
'clueon' anagrammed gives 'lounce'.
'lounce' put into 'fd' is 'FLOUNCED'.
