Extravagant? Wrong again! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outre

'extravagant?' is the definition.
(outre can mean extravagant or eccentric)

'wrong again' is the wordplay.
'wrong' becomes 'out' (eg a calculation might be 'out').
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'out'+'re'='OUTRE'

(Other definitions for outre that I've seen before include "Far out - in France" , "Weird" , "Strange" , "Abnormal" , "appear eccentric" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
