Slow movement produced no advance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lento

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

'slow movement' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'no advance' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'no' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'lent' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'produced' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
