Military unit cold or hot on manoeuvres (6)
I believe the answer is:
cohort
'military unit' is the definition.
'cohort' can be an answer for 'unit' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'military' bit.
'cold or hot on manoeuvres' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'on manoeuvres' is an anagram indicator (the letters manoeuvre into a new form).
'or'+'hot'='orhot'
'orhot' with letters rearranged gives 'ohort'.
'c'+'ohort'='COHORT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cohort that I've seen before include "Unit of Roman soldiers - group of people of same age" , "Sidekick" , "Tenth part of a Roman legion" , "team of soldiers" , "One tenth of a Roman legion" .)
