Be limp, like some sausages (3)

I believe the answer is:

sag

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

'be limp' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'some sausages' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'SAG' is hidden in the letters of 'sausages'.

'like' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sag that I've seen before include "Slump" , "Decline" , "Sinking" , "Drop" , "Droop, sink in the middle" .)
