Slide off and move round (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sidle

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

'move round' is the definition.
'sidle' can be an answer for 'move' (sidling is a kind of moving). I am unsure of the 'round' bit.

'slide off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'slide' with letters rearranged gives 'SIDLE'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sidle that I've seen before include "Edge along furtively" , "Move like a crab" , "Inch along" , "steal" , "Make cautious progress" .)
