Bungle military intelligence's event (5)
I believe the answer is:
misdo
'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" .)
