Describe right expression the wrong way (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

report

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'describe' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'right expression the wrong way' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable) and 'rt' is present in the answer.
'way' could be 'r' (abbreviation for right) and 'r' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for report that I've seen before include "Relate; gun noise" , "Sudden noise; account of progress" , "'Description, account (6)'" , "Pupil's assessment" , "Statement of facts, news etc - noise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
