Sidled sharply? (5)
I believe the answer is:
edged
'sidled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edged that I've seen before include "Moved furtively" , "Crept" , "Made moves that were gradual" , "Nicked" , "Hemmed" .)
