Move back. It's right behind (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stir

'move' is the definition.
(stir can mean to make a movement)

'back it's right behind' is the wordplay.
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'behind' says to put letters next to each other.
'its' backwards is 'sti'.
'sti'+'r'='STIR'

(Other definitions for stir that I've seen before include "Agitate; wake from sleep" , "Move around and mix thoroughly" , "Produce disorder < , wake up" , "bird" , "riot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
