General meaning to move aimlessly (5)
I believe the answer is:
drift
This clue is a double definition.
'general meaning' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'move aimlessly' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for drift that I've seen before include "state of indecision" , "Move with wind and tide" , "Movement off course or in general" , "Meander aimlessly" , "Large heap (of snow)" .)
