Has the wrong case (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheath

'case' is the definition.
(I know that case can be written as sheath)

'has the wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'has'+'the'='hasthe'
'hasthe' with letters rearranged gives 'SHEATH'.

(Other definitions for sheath that I've seen before include "coat" , "Sword covering" , "Case for a dagger" , "Holder for a dagger" , "(Blade's) cover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Telegraph and The Sun.
