Crossword Genius

Walk confidently, showing unusual trust (5)

I believe the answer is:

strut

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

'walk confidently' is the definition.
'strut' can be an answer for 'walk' (strutting is a kind of walking). I am unsure of the 'confidently' bit.

'unusual trust' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates an anagram.
'trust' anagrammed gives 'STRUT'.

'showing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strut that I've seen before include "Walk arrogantly" , "supporter" , "Bar; walk stiffly" , "Walk proudly like metal support" , "Reinforcing rod" .)
