Crossword Genius

Sharp reply regarding wrong (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retort

'sharp reply' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'regarding wrong' is the wordplay.
'regarding' becomes 're'.
'wrong' becomes 'tort' (legal term).
're'+'tort'='RETORT'

(Other definitions for retort that I've seen before include "Snappy reply" , "Chem. flask; sharp answer" , "Respond" , "Answer back" , "Quick answer - laboratory vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
