Caused someone to go in the wrong direction (6)
I believe the answer is:
misled
'caused someone to go in the wrong direction' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for misled that I've seen before include "Smiled, having been deceived" , "Wrongly directed" , "Sent someone in the wrong direction" , "Given the wrong impression" , "Praise" .)
