Stuff manoeuvred out of dorm and into the street (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avenue

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

'the street' is the definition.
(avenue is a kind of street)

'stuff manoeuvred out of dorm' is the wordplay.
'stuff' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'stuffed' mean this).
'out of' is a deletion indicator.
'manoeuvred' with 'dorm' taken away is 'aneuve'.
'aneuve' is an anagram of 'AVENUE'.

'and into' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avenue that I've seen before include "Tree-lined approach to a house" , "A broad thoroughfare as in New York" , "Broad tree-lined road" , "Entrance passage" , "Wide street or path to progress" .)
