Moved together, privately rather dedicated (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

herded

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

'moved together' is the definition.
(herding is a kind of moving together)

'privately rather dedicated' is the wordplay.
'HERDED' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for herded that I've seen is " Drove animals".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
