Marked dates in wrongly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stained

'marked' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dates in wrongly' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' is an anagram indicator.
'dates'+'in'='datesin'
'datesin' is an anagram of 'STAINED'.

(Other definitions for stained that I've seen before include "Church feature - side sold was wanting (anag)" , "Like many church windows" , "Marked, discoloured" , "Soiled" , "___ glass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
