About to get wrong answer (6)
I believe the answer is:
retort
'answer' is the definition.
(retorting is a kind of answering)
'about to get wrong' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding**).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'wrong' becomes 'tort' (legal term).
're'+'tort'='RETORT'
(Other definitions for retort that I've seen before include "swift return" , "Lab equipment" , "A sharp reply or vessel used in distilling" , "Still" , "Sally" .)
