Make a comparison, as a legion on manoeuvres (9)
I believe the answer is:
analogise
'make a comparison as a legion on manoeuvres' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'as a legion on manoeuvres' is the wordplay.
'on manoeuvres' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters manoeuvre into a new form).
'as'+'a'+'legion'='asalegion'
'asalegion' with letters rearranged gives 'ANALOGISE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for analogise that I've seen is " Draw comparisons".)
