Give the wrong impression (7)
I believe the answer is:
mislead
'give the wrong impression' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for mislead that I've seen before include "Cause someone to believe something is not true" , "Deceive" , "Hoodwink" , "Give a wrong impression to (someone)" , "Cause someone to have a false belief" .)
