Malcontent mean or misguided (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moaner

'malcontent' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'mean or misguided' is the wordplay.
'misguided' indicates an anagram (letters guided into the wrong places).
'mean'+'or'='meanor'
'meanor' anagrammed gives 'MOANER'.

(Other definitions for moaner that I've seen before include "Grumbler" , "Complainer" , "One who complains" , "Grouch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
