Is able to move and descend spectacularly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abseil

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

'descend spectacularly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'is able to move' is the wordplay.
'to move' indicates anagramming the letters.
'is'+'able'='isable'
'isable' is an anagram of 'ABSEIL'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abseil that I've seen before include "Isabel (anag) - descend a cliff by rope" , "Is able (anag.)" , "Descend vertically by rope" , "Climb down using a double rope" , "Use ropes to climb down a cliff face" .)
