Son moved slowly and wrote hurriedly (8)

I believe the answer is:

scrawled

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

'slowly and wrote hurriedly' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'son moved' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 'scraw' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'moved' becomes 'led' (leading is a kind of moving).
'scraw'+'led'='SCRAWLED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scrawled that I've seen before include "Wrote carelessly with red claws" , "Wrote carelessly in bad handwriting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
