Give out wrong time (4)

Ross

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'.

(Other definitions for emit that I've seen before include "Sent" , "Make audible sounds" , "shed" , "'Give off, odour say (4)'" , "Give out (eg light)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
