Wrongly see nudism as trend to reform (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misunderstand

'wrongly see' is the definition.
(to misunderstand is to see something incorrectly)

'nudism as trend to reform' is the wordplay.
'to reform' is an anagram indicator.
'nudism'+'as'+'trend'='nudismastrend'
'nudismastrend' anagrammed gives 'MISUNDERSTAND'.

(Other definitions for misunderstand that I've seen before include "Take wrongly" , "Fail to see" , "Fail to interpret correctly" , "Fail to follow" , "Get wrong idea of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
