To misrepresent daughter is wrong (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distort

'to misrepresent' is the definition.
(distorting is a kind of misrepresenting)

'daughter is wrong' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'dis' (I've seen this in other clues).
'is wrong' becomes 'tort' (legal term).
'dis'+'tort'='DISTORT'

(Other definitions for distort that I've seen before include "Get out of shape" , "Deform" , "bend" , "Twist out of shape" , "turn crooked" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
