Outmaneuver (5)
I believe the answer is:
elude
'outmaneuver' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for elude that I've seen before include "Dodge or avoid" , "Escape - avoid" , "Get round" , "Evade, escape from" , "Avoid; slip one's mind" .)
