Etymology
稍 (yaya, “slightly”) + particle も (mo, “even”) + すれ (sure), the 仮定形 (kateikei) of する (suru, “to do”) + hypothetical conditional particle ば (-ba, “if”); literally "if one does slightly ", i.e. "easily, inclined to".
The superimposition of the kanji 動 (“move”) onto やや (yaya, “slightly”), a component with a different meaning than the superimposed kanji, is only in this set phrase, and can be understood in the context of movement, as in "if one moves ".
