Move from China - not a great upheaval (4)
I believe the answer is:
inch
'move' is the definition.
The definition and answer 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?
'from china not a great upheaval' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is located in the answer.
'china' could be 'ch' and 'ch' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inch that I've seen before include "Two point five four cm" , "Crawl; imperial measurement" , "Imperial unit of length" , "Edge along" , "One point 63380 th of a mile" .)
