Extract from Parsifal seems wrong (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

false

'wrong' is the definition.
('false' can be similar in meaning to 'wrong')

'extract from parsifal seems' is the wordplay.
'extract from' indicates a hidden word (I've seen this in other clues).
'FALSE' can be found hidden inside 'parsifal seems'.

(Other definitions for false that I've seen before include "Wrong" , "Not in accordance with fact" , "Mendacious" , "Invalid; untrue" , "Unfaithful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
