The rate of movement per unit of time (8)

I believe the answer is:

velocity

(Other definitions for velocity that I've seen before include "Rate of motion, distance per unit of time" , "Distance travelled per unit of time" , "Agreeable -- Riviera resort" , "Rate of movement." , "Speed of travel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
