Give out the wrong time (4)
I believe the answer is:
emit
'give out' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'wrong time' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'time' anagrammed gives 'EMIT'.
'the' is the link.
(Other definitions for emit that I've seen before include "Send out in time" , "Give off, heat say" , "Produce and discharge" , "Exhale" , "Give out or put forth" .)
