Indicate movement of tigers with hesitation (8)
I believe the answer is:
register
'indicate' is the definition.
(registering is a kind of indicating)
'movement of tigers with hesitation' is the wordplay.
'movement of' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'movement' mean this).
'with hesitation' becomes 'er' (I've seen this in other clues).
'tigers' anagrammed gives 'regist'.
'regist'+'er'='REGISTER'
(Other definitions for register that I've seen before include "Vocal compass" , "Record in writing" , "Read" , "Notice < book" , "Official list of names" .)
