Crossword Genius

Way of moving around in some agitation (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gait

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

'way' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Way of walking' mean 'gait' so perhaps 'way' could also mean 'gait')

'moving around in some agitation' is the wordplay.
'moving' becomes 'forging' (forging is a kind of moving).
'around' says to take the centre.
'in some agitation' becomes 'ait' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The middle of 'forging' is 'g'.
'g'+'ait'='GAIT'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gait that I've seen before include "Bearing" , "Method of moving" , "Manner of walking or running" , "Way of walking (4)" , "walkway?" .)
