Move smoothly,taking cover in middle of hedgerow (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glide

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

'move' is the definition.
(I know that glide is a type of move)

'cover in middle of hedgerow' is the wordplay.
'cover' becomes 'lid' (lid is a kind of cover).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'middle of' says to take the centre.
The centre of 'hedgerow' is 'ge'.
'lid' going within 'ge' is 'GLIDE'.

'smoothlytaking' is the link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glide that I've seen before include "Move smoothly, as a sailplane" , "Move gracefully" , "Soar" , "Gelid (anag.)" , "Make an unpowered flight" .)
