Inappropriate manoeuvring drawn out (8)
I believe the answer is:
untoward
'inappropriate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'manoeuvring drawn out' is the wordplay.
'manoeuvring' is an anagram indicator.
'drawn'+'out'='drawnout'
'drawnout' with letters rearranged gives 'UNTOWARD'.
(Other definitions for untoward that I've seen before include "Unexpected, inappropriate" , "Unexpected, undesirable" , "Inconvenient, unfortunate" , "Inappropriate, undesirable" , "Unfortunate or adverse" .)
