Rid another of a misguided idea (8)

I believe the answer is:

disabuse

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

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
