One thinks of them as being moved aside (5)
I believe the answer is:
ideas
'one thinks of them as' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'moved aside' is the wordplay.
'moved' indicates anagramming the letters.
'aside' is an anagram of 'IDEAS'.
'being' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ideas that I've seen before include "Thoughts, creative perhaps" , "Thoughts, personal views" , "Thoughts, maybe creative" , "Brain waves" , "Thoughts from Sadie" .)
