Slide off and move furtively (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sidle

'move furtively' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'slide off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'slide' is an anagram of 'SIDLE'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sidle that I've seen before include "Slink, creep, sneak" , "Move in furtive or timid manner" , "Edge along furtively" , "steal" , "Walk crabwise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
