A bad shot? Wrong! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amiss

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

'wrong' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a bad shot?' is the wordplay.
'bad shot?' becomes 'miss' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'miss'='AMISS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amiss that I've seen before include "Wrong (a girl!)" , "Badly - wrong" , "Faulty" , "Wrorg" , "Revealing fault" .)
