Crossword Genius

Piano or desk perhaps, easily moved about (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

portable

'easily moved about' is the definition.
(something portable is easy to carry)

'piano or desk' is the wordplay.
'piano' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation).
'desk' becomes 'table' (a desk is a table for working at).
'p'+'or'+'table'='PORTABLE'

'perhaps' is the link.

(Other definitions for portable that I've seen before include "to take with you" , "Easily transported" , "Laptop, for example" , "Designed to be easily carried" , "desirable type of pension" .)
