See nothing in Manila (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nil

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'see nothing' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'in manila' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'NIL' can be found hidden inside 'manila'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nil that I've seen before include "Non-existent" , "Nothing - in Latin" , "You get nothing" , "Score of nought" , "0" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
