Poor ladies pimp used in a wrong way (10)

I believe the answer is:

misapplied

'used in a wrong way' is the definition.

'poor ladies pimp' is the wordplay.
'poor' is an anagram indicator.
'ladies'+'pimp'='ladiespimp'
'ladiespimp' is an anagram of 'MISAPPLIED'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
