Strode back and forth (5)
I believe the answer is:
paced
'strode back and forth' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for paced that I've seen before include "Walked at a steady speed" , "Steadily walked" , "set the tempo" , "Took steps" , "Moved steadily" .)
