I believe the answer is:

sue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'prosecute' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'misuse?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sue that I've seen before include "Susan (dim.)" , "Bring charges against - girl" , "Charge" , "Proceed legally against (someone)" , "Make a case against" .)
