Describes type of recommendations that might not be accepted or is Davy wrong? (8)

I believe the answer is:

advisory

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

'describes type of recommendations that might not be accepted' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'or is davy wrong?' is the wordplay.
'wrong?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'wrong' mean this).
'or'+'is'+'davy'='orisdavy'
'orisdavy' with letters rearranged gives 'ADVISORY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for advisory that I've seen before include "Recommended but not compulsory" , "Recommending" , "helping" , "Making recommendations" .)
