Crossword Genius

Object to night manoeuvres (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thing

'object' is the definition.
(an object is a thing or item)

'night manoeuvres' is the wordplay.
'manoeuvres' indicates anagramming the letters (letters manoeuvred in a new way).
'night' is an anagram of 'THING'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for thing that I've seen before include "Night (anag)" , "See 1" , "Body" , "Object; gadget" , "A creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
