disabuse

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

'relieve one of any wrong information' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'correcting bad issue' is the wordplay.
'correcting' indicates anagramming the letters (the order of letters must be corrected).
'bad'+'issue'='badissue'
'badissue' is an anagram of 'DISABUSE'.

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disabuse that I've seen before include "Enlighten" , "Free somebody from an erroneous belief" , "Give correction to" , "Undeceive, set right" , "Rid (one of wrong idea)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
