Crossword Genius

Called the wrong man “Ed” (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

named

'called' is the definition.
('name' can be a synonym of 'call')

'the wrong man ed' is the wordplay.
'the wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'man' with letters rearranged gives 'nam'.
'nam'+'ed'='NAMED'

(Other definitions for named that I've seen before include "Designated" , "Titled" , "Entitled" , "Identified by appellation" , "Called" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
