Crossword Genius

Nag, pinto, prepared for moving (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poignant

'moving' is the definition.
('poignant' can be similar in meaning to 'moving')

'nag pinto prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates an anagram.
'nag'+'pinto'='nagpinto'
'nagpinto' with letters rearranged gives 'POIGNANT'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for poignant that I've seen before include "Sharply, painfully emotive" , "Evoking sadness or regret" , "sad" , "Heart-rending" , "Arousing sympathy, moving to the feelings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
