Saw cut one circle in slow movement (6)
I believe the answer is:
adagio
'slow movement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'saw cut one circle in' is the wordplay.
'saw' becomes 'adage' ('adage' can be a synonym of 'saw').
'cut' means to remove the last letter.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'circle in' becomes 'o' (I am not sure about the 'in' bit.**).
'adage' with its last letter taken away is 'adag'.
'adag'+'i'+'o'='ADAGIO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adagio that I've seen before include "Leisurely tempo" , "In music, leisurely" , "In slow time (mus.)" , "going slowly in work" , "'Slowly and gracefully, in music (6)'" .)
