Manoeuvre


Definition:

  • (n.) Management with address or artful design; adroit proceeding; stratagem.
  • (n.) To perform a movement or movements in military or naval tactics; to make changes in position with reference to getting advantage in attack or defense.

  • (v. t.) To change the positions of, as of troops of ships.
