misstate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'give wrong information out at times about the society' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'at times about the society' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'the society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'at'+'times'='attimes'
'attimes' anagrammed with 's' makes 'MISSTATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for misstate that I've seen before include "Inaccurately report" , "Wrongly announce" , "Put incorrectly" , "Mast site (anag.)" , "Declare wrongly" .)
