Object, artefact (5)
I believe the answer is:
thing
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'object' is the first definition.
(an object is a thing or item)
'artefact' is the second definition.
(I know that thing is a type of artefact)
(Other definitions for thing that I've seen before include "Article" , "A creature" , "Object, artefact" , "Body" , "Individual unit" .)
