The wrong word for it (8)

I believe the answer is:

misnomer

(Other definitions for misnomer that I've seen before include "One wrongly named" , "Wrong name or term" , "Incorrect or unsuitable name" , "Unsuitable designation" , "Name wrongly applied to something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
