dawdle

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

'maybe waddle slowly' is the definition.

'waddle' anagrammed gives 'DAWDLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dawdle that I've seen before include "Walk along idly, take your time" , "Dally" , "Idle along" , "'Linger, hang back (6)'" , "Act slowly" .)
