travelled

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

'moved along a course initially' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'twisted and tangled' is the wordplay.
'twisted' becomes 't' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tangled' becomes 'ravelled' (I've seen this before).
't'+'ravelled'='TRAVELLED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for travelled that I've seen before include "Went on a journey" , "Made a trip" , "Journeyed" , "was moving" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
