Strange documents sir interpreted wrongly (12)

I believe the answer is:

misconstrued

'interpreted wrongly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'strange documents sir' is the wordplay.
'strange' is an anagram indicator.
'documents'+'sir'='documentssir'
'documentssir' with letters rearranged gives 'MISCONSTRUED'.

(Another definition for misconstrued that I've seen is " Interpreted wrongly".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
