Misguided love is pity, really (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

positively

'really' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'misguided love is pity' is the wordplay.
'misguided' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'love'+'is'+'pity'='loveispity'
'loveispity' anagrammed gives 'POSITIVELY'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
