Issue the wrong item (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emit

'issue' is the definition.
(both can mean to give out or radiate)

'wrong item' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'item' is an anagram of 'EMIT'.

'the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for emit that I've seen before include "Small turtle" , "Broadcast" , "Throw out" , "Come out!" , "'Give off, odour say (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
