Official misjudgement concealed (5)

I believe the answer is:

judge

'official' is the definition.
(judge is a kind of official)

'misjudgement concealed' is the wordplay.
'concealed' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'JUDGE' is hidden in the letters of 'misjudgement'.

(Other definitions for judge that I've seen before include "Reckon" , "Magistrate" , "Senior officer of the law" , "Adjuicator" , "Form an opinion of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
