misquote

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

'times desperately stifling question over inaccurate citation' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'times desperately stifling question over' is the wordplay.
'desperately' indicates anagramming the letters.
'stifling' indicates putting letters inside (some letters get stifled or contained).
'question' becomes 'qu' (abbreviation).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'times' is an anagram of 'miste'.
'qu'+'o'='quo'
'miste' going around 'quo' is 'MISQUOTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for misquote that I've seen before include "Cite incorrectly" , "Cite inaccurately" .)
