'moved' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'cattle aside that's flexible' is the wordplay.
'that's flexible' is an anagram indicator (letters get bent or changed).
'cattle'+'aside'='cattleaside'
'cattleaside' is an anagram of 'ELASTICATED'.
