Possible result of muddling one's words (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

malapropism

(Other definitions for malapropism that I've seen before include "Verbal misapplication" , "Blunder in theatre" , "Unintentional confusion of one word with another (by someone in a Sheridan play?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
