Crossword Genius

Met rep in des res unfortunately portrayed inaccurately (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misrepresented

'portrayed inaccurately' is the definition.
(to misrepresent is to portray falsely)

'met rep in des res unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates anagramming the letters.
'met'+'rep'+'in'+'des'+'res'='metrepindesres'
'metrepindesres' with letters rearranged gives 'MISREPRESENTED'.

(Other definitions for misrepresented that I've seen before include "Gave wrong impression" , "Hospital department" , "Gave a false account of" , "produced false accounts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
