Revealed to be inaccurate (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

out

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'revealed' is the first definition.
(as in news which is out)

'inaccurate' is the second definition.
(eg a calculation might be 'out')

'to be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for out that I've seen before include "what batsman doesn't want to be" , "Absent; away" , "Known" , "Escaped" , "Free" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
