'bungle' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'military intelligence's event' is the wordplay.
'military intelligence's' becomes 'mis' (as in MI5 or MI6 - British military intelligence).
'event' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of event).
'mis'+'do'='MISDO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for misdo that I've seen before include "Perform improperly" , "Perform wrongly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
