How the clue works
Right, so connected at the end is what we're defining. "Move" is your anagram indicator, telling you to shuffle the letters of "cat aside" — that's CATASIDE. Now you've got to fit SO (meaning "very") inside that jumble, keeping it tucked in there, and the letters fall into place as AS-SO-CIATED.
