One delivered to the wrong place outright? (6)
I believe the answer is:
parcel
'place outright?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parcel that I've seen before include "Amount of land; package" , "Wrapped item in post" , "One conveyed" , "Soft shade; crayon" , "Wrapped missive" .)
