I am returning banger without answer for unjust treatment (8)

I believe the answer is:

misusage

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

'treatment' is the definition.
(I have seen 'bad treatment' mean 'misusage' so perhaps 'treatment' could also mean 'misusage')

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for misusage that I've seen before include "Ill-treatment" , "bad treatment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
