Misread verbose counterpart (7)
I believe the answer is:
obverse
'counterpart' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'misread verbose' is the wordplay.
'misread' is an anagram indicator.
'verbose' is an anagram of 'OBVERSE'.
(Other definitions for obverse that I've seen before include "Side of a coin with the main design" , "Face of a coin" , "Side of a coin bearing the head" , "Side of coin that bears head or principle design" , "Verbose about coin side" .)
